Former Attorney General William Barr told the Jan. 6 committee that former President Donald Trump lost touch with reality following his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and showed no interest in evidence that disproved his wild claims of voter fraud.
“Before the election it was sometimes possible to talk sense to the president,” Barr said. “But I felt that after the election he didn’t seem to be listening.”
“There was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”
Barr concluded that Trump, who insisted without evidence that voter fraud had cost him victory in the election, had become “detached from reality.”
Barr, one of former Trump’s most powerful allies during his term of office, related his growing concern and frustration with Trump after the election. He testified about conversations he had with Trump from late November until he resigned in mid-December.
The claims made by Trump and his allies were “not meritorious,” Barr said of the conspiracy theories put forth following Trump’s election defeat.
Meadows and Kushner reassured Barr, that Trump would not keep making unsubstantiated claims for much longer.
“We're working on this,” Kushner said, according to Barr.
Barr then decided to speak out publicly and rebut Trump’s falsehoods. The allegations of votes being switched by Dominion voting machines or software were “idiotic,” Barr said.
“I thought, If he really believes this stuff, he’s become detached from reality,” Barr added.

Barr said the claims made in the film were “indefensible.”
Fagpiper Barr must have been looking in a mirror when he said that.
Blow it out yer bagpipes, Barr.
There is plenty of evidence that the election was stolen, Bill Barr just doesn’t want to see it, now or then.
It was his job to make sure no one looked into it.
The Big Steal was BIPARTISAN.
The Democrats could not have pulled it off without Assistant Democrats.
That's a lie...
Barr’s arrogance is nauseating. Trump is the one who appointed him, and Sessions though, one shouldn’t forget.
There was plenty of anecdotal evidence out there to investigate voter fraud, but that idiot Barr sat on his fat ass and refused to even consider it.
Stop digging Bill, you are almost to China. Barr has destroyed his own reputation while taking aim at POTUS Trump.
Woe to you, destroyer, you who have not been destroyed! Woe to you, betrayer, you who have not been betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed.
Barr is a swamp creature, the swamp never leaves you.
FUBARR
The realities of the cheating, well, we all know about those, Mr. Barr. And it may take a decade, but justice is coming...
Seeing he didn’t see any real criminality in the whole Russia crap indicates he is the one detached. The real crime has been beating us over our heads for 5 years. That is the real insurrection and there is more than enough proof.

“Barr said that he still has not seen any evidence”
It’s there, Mr. Barr. Immediately after the election it wasn’t clear one way or the other whether the election was fraudulent. No reasonable person can dispute that it wasn’t clear.
As of now more evidence has come forth that there was fraud.
It is also very clear that the anti-Trump forces are ignoring evidence regarding the election and also evidence regarding the Jan 6 affair.
Very, very clear. Indisputable.
In what way?
Bill Barr said nothing criminal happened. He’s having int. both ways.
Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family...
