  • Bill Barr was the attorney general at the time.

  • At the hearing on the Capitol siege, Barr spoke on the results of the PA's 2020 election.

  • Trump thought other GOP candidates were fraudulent.

During Monday's House Select Committee hearing, former Attorney General Bill Barr said that the loss in Pennsylvania was not voter fraud.

There is an obvious explanation for Trump's election fraud conspiracy theories. In Pennsylvania, Trump ran weaker than the Republicans as a whole. Two of the state candidates were weaker than him. The congressional delegation was stronger than he was.

Barr said that the election was not stolen by fraud because Trump was a weak part of the Republican ticket.

Roll Call found that Trump was below average in other states such as Georgia, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin.

One of the big election fraud conspiracy theories he tried to debunk in a conversation with former US Attorney Bill McSwain came from Rudy Giuliani.

There was an accusation of a "discrepancy" between mail-in ballot applications for a GOP primary with those who voted in the general election.

"But it kept on being repeated, and I found it annoying," said Barr, who was the attorney general at the time.

The committee has received documents from Mastriano, who led the effort to submit an alternate set of electors.
