Below is a cut&paste from today's 'The Week'.
To be sure, some of what they reveal has already been discussed on this venue. Still, The Week distills reportage that will illuminate Bill Barr's interview with Johnathan Karl. My avatar thought it was quite informative. Maybe you will too. (The week offers links at the bottom of the paragraph)

"7. Author of forthcoming book says Barr clashed with Trump over fraud claim |
ABC News' Jonathan Karl, author of a forthcoming book on the final days of the Trump administration, writes in The Atlantic that former Attorney General William Barr told him that he never believed former President Donald Trump's allegation that the election was stolen from him. "My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time," Karl said Barr told him. "If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bulls---t." Barr reportedly told Karl that Trump reacted angrily when Barr refused to back up the fraud allegations, and said, "You must hate Trump." Barr said he pushed back by telling Trump he had a narrow window to prove his claims, and needed a disciplined team of top lawyers to do it. "Instead, you have a clown show," Barr reportedly told Trump. [The Atlantic, USA Today]" |
