Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr said then-President Donald Trump became furious after Barr told him there was no evidence that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
“I told him that all this stuff was bulls — … about election fraud. And, you know, it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was,” Barr said in an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt that’s scheduled to air Sunday night. First highlights of the interview aired Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
The sit-down with Holt is Barr’s first televised interview since he stepped down as attorney general in late Dec. 2020. Barr is publishing a new book about his time in the Trump administration, which has prompted criticism from some that he remained silent about the former president until he could profit from book sales.
Holt’s interview will air tonight on NBC Nightly News at 6:30 p.m. ET, with the primetime special airing this Sunday at 9 pm ET on NBC.
