Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday undermined a key pillar of his old boss defense in the special counsels probe into 2020 election interference, telling CNNs Kaitlan Collins that Donald Trump knew well he lost the election.
The former attorney general also described Trumps alleged actions as detailed in the indictment as nauseating and despicable, saying on The Source, someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldnt be anywhere near the Oval Office.
A central premise of the special counsels case is that Trump knew the election claims he was making were false after being told by several close aides that he had lost the election. Trumps lawyers have argued that his statements were protected under the First Amendment, a position that Barr, in his first interview since Trumps third indictment, said was not a valid argument.
