AG Bill Barr Testifies Trump Was 'Detached from Reality' — Jan 6 Committee Hearing
Former Attorney General Bill Barr's videotaped testimony is played during the January 6 committee hearing, in which Barr says he told Trump the election fraud claims were 'bullsh*t' and that Trump had become 'detached from reality' after the election. Barr — Trump's own hand-picked Attorney General and one of his most loyal defenders — testifies that there was 'no evidence' of widespread fraud. The testimony is devastating because it comes from Trump's own inner circle, not his political opponents.
