“Before the election it was sometimes possible to talk sense to the president,” Barr said in videotaped testimony played Monday before the Jan. 6 committee. “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,” he said.
Ultimately, Barr concluded that Trump, who insisted without evidence that voter fraud had cost him victory in the election, had become “detached from reality.”
The claims made by Trump and his allies were “not meritorious, not panning out,” Barr said of the many conspiracy theories and false leads put forth following the president’s election defeat.
The allegations of votes being switched by Dominion voting machines or software were “idiotic,” Barr said.
“It looked very amateurish to me,” Barr said. Claims of fraud were made, “but I didn't see any supporting information for it.”
“I thought, If he really believes this stuff, he’s become detached from reality,” Barr added.
