but you mentioned bill barr. to me, he's a fascinating example of the argument that while donald trump broke with many people and many officials ultimately ended up breaking with donald trump, it's always a complicated story. bill barr got the job as trump's second attorney general after trump fire jeff sessions, in part because he wrote a memo saying the mueller investigation was not a legitimate use of the special counsel power and it was an overage. of course, that was exactly what donald trump wanted to hear and trump thought by appointing bill barr as attorney general, he would help him either fire mueller or contain the damage from the mueller investigation and many people believed that was exactly what bill barr did in the spring of 2008 -- sorry, spring of 2019 when the mueller report finally came out. bill barr's mischaracterization of the findings helped shape the public perception and donald trump, when he said there was no collusion, there is no collision, that barr was a key facilitator of cementing

barr was going early about the difference between cbdc and stablecoin. we have the federal reserve, and they are responsible for monetary supply. i know some of the responsibilities in the financial system. we also have u.s. treasury. one of the primary responsibilities is the production of coin and currency. as we navigate going forward, what we see is a unanimous need for us to adopt some form of currency. where should the leadership really come from? should the leadership come from the federal reserve? or should it come from a u.s. treasury that has a responsibility to this currency? doctor norrlof. >> i think the leadership should come from the federal reserve. i also want to say that for the cbdc, progress in this area is especially important because that is really where china can make a difference to undercut the dominance of the dollar. if the cbdc, the chinese, seems to be going forward, we will see a very strong push towards a convertible remedy, which will make the chinese currency really making it much more attractive for international investo

in the weeks immediately following the 2020 election, attorney general bill barr advised the department of justice had not seen any evidence to support trump's theory that the election was stolen by fraud, no evidence. over the course of the three meetings in this post election period, attorney general barr assured president trump the justice department was properly investigating claims of election fraud. he debunked numerous election fraud claims, many which the president would then go on to repeat publicly and made clear that president trump was doing "a great, great disservice to the country by pursuing them." after attorney general barr's resignation, president trump requested the acting leadership of the department, jeffrey rosen and richard donahue "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congressmen." in other words, just tell a small lie to put the facade legitimacy on this lie and the republican congressmen and i can distort and create doubt ourselves. between december 23rd and january 3rd, president trump called or met with them nearly eve

chairman, chairman waters, ranking member barr. my report is authorized by the atlantic council center. alternative payment systems pose national security risks because they could undercut the dominant throafl dollar and the international currency system. it is the only currency that's truly global. there's no immediate or even medium term threat to the dollar's dominance. even over the long-term it's likely to stay dominant in absolute terms. other payment systems could, however, threaten the dollar's relative dominance. and we are already seeing a relative decline in the dollar's status. for at least two decades, the international currency system has been strictly union polar but after -- strictly unipolar, but after 2017 it became less unipolar and became close to becoming a bipolar or multipolar system. if other currencies -- even as the other currencies exist, the dollar's end is nowhere in sight but it could continue to be less dominant. countries are avoiding use of dollars if they can be seized. countries supporting sanctio
