Former Atty. Gen. Bill Barr told the Jan. 6 House Select Committee that former President Trump became “detached from reality” amid his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and that allegations of voter fraud were “bogus.”
Trump ‘became frustrated, and he replaced his campaign’s legal team,’ said Rep. Zoe Lofgren , who helped lead the presentation at Monday’s hearing alongside Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney .
Trump tried controlling his fury during their meeting in the Oval Office, Barr said. After Trump suggested there was fraud in certain jurisdictions, Barr said he responded that there was no indication of that and that the fraud claims were “bullshit.”A ‘definitely intoxicated’ Giuliani urged Trump to push fraud claims on election night, aide says
“I told them that it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time and it was doing a great grave disservice to the country,” Barr said.
