William Barr believes that Donald Trump was behind the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In an interview that is scheduled to air, Roseanne Barr said that she believed that part of the plan was to send the group to the Hill. I think that that was incorrect.

There is no evidence that Trump was responsible for it in terms of insinuation.

The assault on the Capitol occurred after Trump spoke at a rally in Washington, D.C., and urged the crowd to march to the Capitol while Congress was in the process of certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Multiple people were killed and more than 140 officers were injured when a mob of Trump supporters attacked the building.

More than 700 people have been charged by the Justice Department. A bipartisan select committee probing the insurrection has issued hundreds of subpoenas. In a court filing this week, the House panel said that Trump and his associates engaged in a criminal conspiracy to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory.

When Trump was told there was no evidence that the election was fraudulent, he became enraged, according to Barr.

Barr said that he told him that the stuff was bullshit.

After the Associated Press published an interview in which Barr said there was no evidence of voter fraud in the election, Trump summoned him to a meeting at the White House.

He told Trump that the Justice Department had found no evidence to support the various conspiracy theories that the president and his legal team were pushing.

I had the answers when he asked about different theories. Barr said that he was able to tell him that it was wrong. Trump was getting very angry after listening.

Barr told Trump that he was upset with him. I am perfectly happy to tender my resignation.

According to Barr, Trump accepted after he slapped his desk. Accepted.

And then boom. He slapped it again. Go home. Don't go back to your office. Go home. You're done, Barr said.

The former attorney general said that Trump had White House lawyers stop him before he left the premises to tell him he wasn't fired, but the president continued to assail him in public. Barr resigned two weeks later.

Trump called his former attorney general a "coward" and a "big disappointment" in a three-page statement he sent to the network.
