WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr, one of President Donald Trump’s staunchest allies, is resigning amid lingering tension with the president over the president’s baseless claims of election fraud and the investigation into President-elect Joe Biden’s son. Barr went Monday to the White House, where Trump said the attorney general submitted his letter of resignation.

The official introduction of the #IamVanessaGuillen bill will take place Wednesday at noon with the Guillén family and Attorney Khawam on The House Triangle, U.S. Capitol in D.C. The family hopes Congress, the Senate, and President Trump show support for the bill, which aims to protect those who are suffering sexual harassment happening in the armed forces and while holding the aggressors accountable for their actions. “The bill responds to resounding calls for change by revolutionizing the military’s response to missing service members and reports of sexual harassment-assault by making sexual harassment a crime within the Uniform Code of Military Justice and moving prosecution decisions of sexual assault and sexual harassment cases out of the chain of command,” a caption for the official Find Vanessa Guillen Instagram page said. “We have to protect our protectors, those soldiers are giving their life to serve the nation and to protect us.”
