Demonstrators called for William Barr to "lock up" Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden during a protest in front of the attorney general’s home in McLean, Va,, USA Today reported over the weekend.
About a dozen Trump supporters held signs such as "Biden Lies Matter" and "Equal Justice Is Coming" in a demonstration that articulated a common theme in the president’s campaign rallies for his opponents to be jailed.
Barr went out from his home to speak with the protestors and explained the role of the Justice Department in such probes.
Trump has repeatedly said Biden is involved in corruption connected to business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, including accusations in a New York Post story claiming emails and text messages implicate Hunter Biden in influence peddling.
Trump has been urging Barr to investigate the allegations and reveal findings before the election.
But despite this, the Justice Department has not announced any probes connected to the Hunter Biden case.
In addition, a Wall Street Journal probe failed to reveal any role for Joe Biden in corporate records shared by Hunter Biden's ex-business partner.
