Former President Donald Trump on Friday said his former Attorney General William Barr was “weak and frightened” and manipulated by Democrats.
The blistering rebuke was delivered after the House Jan. 6 committee’s prime-time TV hearing Thursday featured Mr. Barr’s videotaped deposition to the committee in which he condemned Mr. Trump’s stolen election claims, saying he quit the administration in 2020 because of it.
“Bill Barr was a weak and frightened Attorney General who was always being ‘played’ and threatened by the Democrats and was scared stiff of being Impeached,” Mr. Trump fumed on his TruthSocial social media site.
