A former U.S. Attorney blew the whistle on a purported directive he received from then Attorney General William Barr not to pursue or raise public awareness about election fraud cases. McSwain sent the letter to Donald Trump, who released it. Barr has now run to the Washington Post to “rebuke” the claim.

“Any suggestion that McSwain was told to stand down from investigating allegations of election fraud is false. It’s just false,” Barr said. He added that the allegations in the letter “appeared to have been made to mollify President Trump to gain his support for McSwain’s planned run for governor.”

The Washington Post’s report attempted to give context over the error-filled Pennsylvania election.

“Barr said McSwain told him in their phone call that his reference to a ‘directive’ involved a single matter having to do with ‘allegations of irregularities’ in Delaware County, Pa., and that the directive came in a conversation with Richard Donoghue, a senior Justice Department official,” the WaPo report said.

“Donoghue never suggested to McSwain he stand down from any investigation into fraud,” Barr said.

On Wednesday, McSwain added to his remarks by addressing William Barr’s comments to the Washington Post.

“Everything in my 6/9/21 letter to President Trump is 100% true,” McSwain said on Twitter. “I have a lifetime reputation for honesty that is beyond reproach. If Bill Barr wants to run to WaPo to complain about me telling the truth, that’s OK – it doesn’t bother me.”

“I have more important things to be concerned about than Bill Barr’s feelings,” he added. “I’m concerned about the future of PA and of our country. We need change in our politics – badly. And it will come in 2022.”
