WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General William Barr was interviewed privately Thursday by the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, an official familiar with the meeting said.
The deposition under oath in Washington lasted about two hours, according to the official, who asked not to be identified because the session wasn’t public.
One of the committee’s interests in Barr is his interactions with former President Donald Trump. Barr has said he told Trump after he lost the 2020 election that his claims of widespread voter fraud were not true.
