Former Attorney General William Barr testified he thought that if President Donald Trump believed the claims of a stolen election, he had lost touch with reality.
After Barr told The Associated Press that there was no evidence of fraud sufficient to affect the election, he met again with the president and said,"The president was as mad as I've ever seen him."
Trump claimed that there had been a"dump" of votes in Detroit, of boxes of votes arrived in the early morning hours. Barr said he explained to him that because of how the Detroit precincts counted votes in a centralized location, that was to be expected.Barr said he singled out as"crazy stuff" claims that the voting machine company, Dominion Voting Systems, and a software company Smartmatic were conspiring to steal the election.
Barr laughed at the movie"2000 Mules," created by Dinesh D'Souza, which he said presented unconvincing claims of coordinated voter fraud.
