Former Attorney General Bill Barr advised former President Trump that there was zero evidence of widespread fraud in the aftermath of the 2020 election, telling the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection that his former boss had "become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff."
Why it matters: It's a damning moment for Trump, whose hand-picked attorney general has characterized the former president's election claims as “bulls**t,” "idiotic" and "complete nonsense" all in the span of the recorded deposition played by the committee.
