Barr calls progressives 'dangerous,' indicates he could support Trump in presidential rematch

Barr was asked if he could support Trump after he wrote in his book that the former president was not fit for office.

The former attorney general responded to criticism of comments he made in 2020, months before the election, in which he said liberals would try to seize power to stay in office. He said that he had no reason to think that Trump would try to overturn those comments.

I didn't see a plan to stay in office regardless of the outcome.

He said that he thought Trump would lose the 2020 election before the votes were cast.

He still said he would be surprised after reading Barr's critiques of the former president.

Barr was asked about an incident in which Trump called a Georgia official and urged him to find the exact number of votes he needed to win the state. According to Barr, he listened to the whole call and felt that the former president was indicating that there must be 11,780 votes.

I thought that was very heavy-handed, but Barr said to let the process in Georgia work.

He said that he disapproved of his behavior after the election and made it clear from the beginning.
