President Donald Trump criticized Attorney General William Barr in a number of tweets on Saturday following a report in The Wall Street Journal which claimed Barr knew about an investigation of Hunter Biden's finances, but worked to keep it from the public during the election.

Biden, President-elect Joe Biden's son, was a major part of Trump's campaign messaging in this year's presidential election. Trump repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims about Biden's foreign business dealings.

On Saturday, Trump shared a tweet from columnist Todd Starnes calling for Barr to be removed and followed up with harsh comments of his own about the attorney general he appointed.
