Rolling Stone - Trump's Election Fraud Claims Were ‘All Bullshit' Former AG Barr Says
[Rolling Stone Magazine] Former attorney general William Barr, one of Trump’s true loyalists, literally called "bullshit" on his former boss’s oft-disproven claims of election fraud.

This news comes from an excerpt of a book by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Betrayal, which chronicles the last days of the Trump administration. According to the book, Barr concluded it was highly unlikely evidence existed to back up Trump’s voter fraud claims even before Barr gave the go-ahead to go against long-standing Justice Department policy to investigate those claims.

"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election," Barr told AP reporter Michael Balsamo in December 2020.

On top of giving investigators the OK, Karl reports that Barr began his own unofficial inquiry into the former president’s claims. Barr told Karl that he suspected all along that Trump was lying, and that the time had come for Trump to provide real evidence or move on.

"My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time. If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bullshit," Barr said.
