Former President Donald Trump raged on Tuesday against Fox News for repeatedly allowing former Attorney General Bill Barr on the network.

"WHY DOES FOX KEEP PUTTING ON BILL BARR." he asked in a Tuesday Truth Social post. "AS ATTORNEY GENERAL HE WAS A COMPLETE COWARD WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED OF BEING IMPEACHED, WHICH THE DEMOCRATS THREATENED TO DO UNTIL HE BECAME THEIR VIRTUAL 'SLAVE' AND REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE THE MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, BY FAR THE RADICAL LEFT’S GREATEST CONCERN."

"HE SAID HE DID INVESTIGATE, BUT HE DIDN’T HAVE THE 'GUTS' TO PROPERLY DO SO, AND NOW WE HAVE A NATION IN MASSIVE DECLINE!" Trump added.

Barr, whom Trump tapped to replace former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, served in the cabinet until December of 2020 and has since become a sharp critic of the former president. On Sunday, he appeared on Fox and insisted Trump ought not to testify in the trial, saying "he lacks all self control," The Hill reported.

Trump made the remarks before surrendering himself to authorities on Tuesday after a grand jury voted to indict him in connection with a 2016 payment his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts and has derided the case as a political witch hunt.
