Barr Says Trump Was “Detached from Reality” in Pushing Election Fraud Claims

HeadlineJun 14, 2022

The House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection held its second public hearing Monday. Video testimony was aired of numerous Trump White House insiders saying there was no basis to Donald Trump’s claims the election was stolen. Former Attorney General William Barr said Trump was “detached from reality” for refusing to accept his election loss. The committee also revealed that Trump heavily relied on far-fetched claims by his lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, who was reportedly drunk on election night when he pushed Trump to falsely claim victory.
