I wonder what light the former Attorney General could shed on the matter.Barr has been in informal talks with the special investigative committee, according to the chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). But recent news reports have added layers of detail to Barr's one-on-one interactions with Trump in late 2020, as the former president sought ways to use the powers of the administration to overturn his election defeat.
Those revelations have sparked new interest on Capitol Hill for Barr to brief the committee again — this time in a more formal setting.
Barr had resigned from the Trump administration in December of 2020, after infuriating the 45th president by asserting there was no evidence of rampant fraud in the presidential contest a month earlier — the central claim of Trump’s false narrative that the election was “stolen.”
