Former Attorney General Bill Barr and nepotistic White House adviser Jared Kushner saw former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to overturn the November 2020 election results as a “clown show,” according to an excerpt obtained by Business Insider from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender’s new book “Frankly We Did Win This Election.” And they aren’t mistaken.

Sidney Powell, the Kraken lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal attorney, and Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow, are all facing multibillion-dollar lawsuits accusing them of falsely claiming that Dominion, a private company that manufactures voting machines, rigged the election in favor of Joe Biden.

The new book sheds light on the tumultuous events that transpired behind the scenes.

“Two competing factions of legal teams led by top campaign advisor Justin Clark and Giuliani began publicly clashing over the Trump team’s approach to post-election challenges,” Insider reports.

“The tension led to one exchange reported by Bender where Clark called Giuliani ‘a f—ing a–hole’ after Giuliani, on speakerphone, accused Clark of lying to Trump in stating that Georgia’s election results needed to be certified before they could request a recount,” the report continues.

“Former Sen. David Perdue, who had begged the Trump team to spend more time campaigning in Georgia before the election and was forced into a runoff, went directly to Kushner to get the Trump campaign to stop pushing false allegations of fraud that he feared would hurt GOP turnout in the runoffs. Kushner, according to Bender, told Perdue he was out of luck,” the outlet reports.

“Once Donald put Rudy in charge, it guaranteed this was going to be a clown show,” Kushner informed Perdue, according to the excerpt, adding, “I can’t help you.”

Barr wasn’t down with Trump’s wild-eyed claims, either.

“Meanwhile, back in Washington, rising tensions between Barr and Trump spilled over into the open in the aftermath of the election when Barr refused to throw the weight of the Justice Department behind Trump’s fantastical efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election,” the report continues.

‘Trump, who even considered replacing Barr as attorney general with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, became increasingly incensed with Barr’s public statements to the Associated Press that the DOJ hadn’t uncovered evidence of substantial fraud, shouting, “I can’t believe you haven’t done anything!”‘ Insider reports.

According to the book, ‘Barr, for his part, told Trump his false claims of fraud were “bull—-” and he had a “clown show” rather than a real legal team.
