Former Attorney General William Barr has reportedly appeared before the House January 6 select committee to give evidence regarding Donald Trump’s attempts to press the Justice Department into service of his false claims of election fraud.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the nine-member panel pressed the ex-attorney general about interactions he had with Mr Trump in the days following the 3 November 2021 presidential election, when the then-president was claiming to have been the victim of election fraud carried out in cities with large Black populations.
