In an exclusive interview with Lester Holt, former Attorney General William Barr pushes back against criticism that he was a “toady to Trump” and defends his handling of the Mueller report. He also describes the moment former President Trump accepted his resignation after he refused to corroborate Trump’s election fraud claims. “Don’t go back to your office. Go home. You’re done,” Trump said, according to Barr. In a statement to NBC News, Trump said he was the one who demanded Barr’s resignation. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Exclusive: Former AG Barr On Trump’s ‘Angry’ Response To Being Told Election Claims Were False
HE WAS AND IS A TOADY ——– HE LIED ABOUT THE MULLER REPORT===NOW TRYING NOW TO COVER HIS ASS= AND SELL A BOOK===== DOES THE TERM===STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DONT SHINE BILL– RING TRUE=============
He is delusional. He was trump’s lapdog.
The worst president in America’s history
It used to be these people would have to go hide under a rock now they write books and the media well disgraceful!
He was a Trump puppet and still is.
He says he doesn’t really care what people thought of him, but he should definitely care. He is a disgrace to this country, to the rule of law, and to patriotism. History will not forget. He had a chance to do the right thing; and he chose NOT to. He is the reason why 45 was able to set this country on fire the way he did. History will not forget, and neither will the internet.
BOO HOO. You choose to dance with the Devil. OWN IT .
Media: Do not pay this man for his lies. BOOOOOO
Im mocking in derision…He is full of it. He doesnt deserve to be making money selling
a book and interview time,,,,,
Barr has no spine.
So even when he has complete freedom to talk, he sounds just as ridiculous as on the job. Oh wow. He hardly even sounds competent in his field??
0:31 “Defiant in his convictions…”
LOL That’s an awesome narration. The guy who refused to investigate Russian interference even after the Mueller Report said there was plenty of evidence. The same guy who told former President Bush to pardon everyone involved in the Iran-contra affair. The guy who fired an attorney for investigating Rudy Giuliani’s involvement in the Trump-Ukrane scandal.
A certain _lack_ of convictions there.
Oh, and what a surprise. Now he has a book to sell.
Shut up Senor Barr . Durham proved you false .
And yeah Barr your completely innocent after being complicit when Trump was President. Yes you did do Trumps Bidding.. He should be investigated for January 6th Incident.
Ribbit ribbit little toady
He’s a POS liar and always will be.
Barr attempts to build legacy….at the expense of the truth…..
Trump wanted the truth to get out…..Barr enjoyed him not getting it….evan if it destroyed the country.
William come on you were the best busboy of Donald.
I bet his breath smelt like Trumps basketball 🏀
This is called selective outrage. Now do Eric Holder.
No one should give this yahoo the time of day.
Accessory to crime, enabler of crime.
He agreed to walk 15 feet behind the orange coated one for the Bible-in-tiny-hand photo-op. That is shameless subservience enough for me to decide he’s a toady.
I don’t believe a thing this Paddington bear lookin m-fin says. He is just like the rest of them. Trash who tried to seize power and thought they would stay in power.
He can’t stop lying
Barr has little credibility. He will always be a Trumper.
Hmmmm .. Anyone else thinking there is a tie between Zelinsky , Trump , the Muelller investigation , and Putin’s Ukraine invasion . It’s not all about NATO potentially moving too close to Russia .
WHO THE HE ___ LLLL CARES… he is is just trying to SELLL a book
and make MILLONS of dollars or even a millon dollars.. HE DOESNT CARE…. HE BOW to VLADI PUTTIN B –a ATCH TRUMP…
We all know Trump is a Russian agent..
Pelosi knew all along.
Now??? What a dirty SOB… He did and was just as Bad as Trump. Trump got away with a lot of things bc of Barr. 👎🏽 I sucks but better late than never.
Barr is a backstabber spineless jellyfish
I guess the takeaway from this interview is that Barr is sort of a sleazy liar but Trump is an even bigger one. So, it was more than Barr could handle. It’s sort of like being someone who likes to go out and have a drink once in awhile, and going out with an alcoholic friend and then not being able to keep up.
As I say in my *book*
And my conclusion
Buy *my book*
🌨🌨🌨Biden the clown trying to convince the low informed things are good🤡 It’s very obvious Inflation Biden hasn’t been groceries shopping or filling his car 🚗 with ⛽️. The people that voted for this incompetent fool need to hold him accountable. Not my circus 🎪 not my clown 🤡

YOU GOT TO WAKE UP !!

🤟🤟🤟🤟
TRUMP HATERS!
Do you remember the HATE MEDIA spoon 🥄 feeding you the hysteria that Trump was a push button mania and was going to start world war 3. The media saying “Trump a danger to world peace”
YOU haters just sat there like a one☝️brain cell ameba soaking it all up. DO YOU MISS HIM YET??
The truth is while in office TRUMP ENGINEERED
several peace treaties in the Middle East and implemented policies that WEAKENED Russia and China. Inflation Biden,Democrats,and the media have failed you !!
RUSSIA&CHINA ARE EXPLOITING BIDEN THE CLOWN WEAKNESS
https://youtu.be/c-kMHYNxNgg
As long as Barr was doing Ex-#45’s bidding…and yes you did…despite your denial…You were Ex-#45’s side b•tch. Period. End of story. Hook… line and sinker.
Barr is a liar. Always has been. Did not do any actual investigation into voter fraud or vote tampering. Openly lied without any proof to back up his lies. Refuses to tell the public what precise data he is using to justify his overarching assessment of pristine elections. State legislatures have incontrovertible proof now of election tampering in key swing states for 2020. That is mounting. Quietly being presented to them. Including lack of chain of custody. Unlawful. Fake ballots printed on normal paper. Unlawful. Video evidence of ballot stuffing. Blatantly unlawful. Ballots without matching signatures. Unlawful. Military and intelligence whistleblowers who report that voting software was designed to control foreign elections was used in the 2020 election to swap votes. Treasonous. Recorded ballot data where that was was wiped intentionally from the servers. Obstruction of justice. Ballots deliberately dumped and not counted. Mail fraud. Statistical anomalies in voting tallies that are virtually impossible to justify. Ballot harvesting where operatives voted for the elderly in nursing homes. Stolen identities.
He does look like a toad so yes “Trump’s Toady” is very suitable.
Why would anybody work for man like Trump Who doesn’t have a nice bone in his body
Sorry there Billy… You cannot repair your shredded reputation after you spent years supporting Trump enabling his destruction of American institutions and no one can ever forgive your white washing of the Robert Mueller report…
He was a toady when he completely bulldozed the Mueller report. He was a toady when he bulldozed any investigations on tRump and got rid of US attorneys who stood in the way. All traitorous deeds! He was a toady then, he is a toady today.
Little too late ☺️
TRUMP HAS PROMISED PUTIN OF RUSSIA AMERICA..BILL BARR HELP TRUMP TO TAKE THE U.S.A..LOCK THEM ALL UP
As far as I’m concerned, Barr should swing WITH TRUMP.🤬
Barr trying to rewrite history is despicable!
How do these dudes get book deals and make millions? Americans don’t read. I feel something is wrong here.
No shame – what a schlub
I believe Trump reacted the way he did…but I do believe Barr has betrayed the American people. Only he knows his own truth and only he has to answer to God. If you are awake and truly seek the truth election fraud is real and it has been going on for years. But the extent of the fraud in 2020 was beyond comprehension. He is on the dark side and has to live with that.
Not only did he kiss trump’s a$$ but now he wants to make fools of us….I don’t believe a thing he says…
Wow cashing in…such integrity… I would never buy his book. Shame on him!
Wow, why would anyone agree to do this kind of interview? It’s all chopped up and filled with with garbage editorials. NBC sucks *dislike*
Lmao.
Barr is a self-serving disgrace.
“I am toady”. I would say that sums up his whole career 100%. But then again, he bailed on Fat Donnie. Why doesn’t fat Billie barnsmell just go play golf or whatever. no matter what you do, history will not be kind to you. As you said, you were a toady. Live with it. Sell a book? sure. give er.
I don’t need to read your stupid book Bill, I watched what you did.
Come on people it’s the 21C fluid the Streets with call phones with time on them and get them to call there love’s one up and they will tell them to stop the kil no one wants this war this is poopin war not Russian war poopin can not win this war if they can talk to there mom’s THEY WILL TELL THEM TO STOP THE kil and take the tanks and to take out the airplanes mom’s want there kids back
Liar is gonna lie.
Trump caused a lot of division and hate in our nation I’m glad the truth is coming out about this guy and all the people who believed in him are blind he was destroying us instead uniting all of us together .
Man I thought that was John Goodman at first
Sorry Bill, I don’t believe you. Your reputation is already ruined. Nothing to do about that….🙄
Nice try Fred Flintstone. Can’t wash the feces under your fingernails
Bar lie lie liar
Dude even looks like a toad
Bar ,you destroyed US democracy
“I didn’t care what people thought about me”, the complete opposite of AG coward Garland.
He helps to light the match and wonders why there is smoke after he walks out the door
Toady is an apt description
Hermann Goering
Send this man back to russia ….he is also an asset just like trump
He thought he was immune to Trump’s idiocy. He rescued Trump from the Russia probe. He thought, like everyone else who deals with Trump, that he would be loyal to them. The only toady Trump listens to is Stephen Miller.
Media: “What do you say to all the people who called you a toady to the president?”
Barr: “Ribbett!”
Does anyone trust the media anymore?
He wrote a false (fraudulent?) summary of the Mueller report claiming it vindicated Trump. Nothing else he says can possibly be trustworthy.
He’s trying to save face, but he was loyal like a dog while he was in trumps orbit.
Bill Barr is washed up and is a liar
1:30
Please…toadie? If Trump asked you to wipe his crusty butt, we can all see you running to do it with glee.
He’s a Bullshiter. And a liar. His body language gives him away. I find him disgusting.
Lester did a great job. He’s the best. What a contrast between these two men.
Too late. Barr was a toady UNTIL he knew he was going down with Trump. Shameless!
Trump is a one term loser clown
Too late
sound like dirty toad
Trump only hires the best
Barr is Trump-like creepy side stepping.
I think there is enough evidence out there now that will prove Trump was right all along. I don’t believe Barr can prove that there was no widespread fraud. To do that you have to investigate the claims and he didn’t do that. Nor did the media give voice to the claims. The reporting had always been one sided because everybody knew the fake news media were working against Trump. The evidence is out there . If Barr offered his resignation than that tells me that he quit on this country when we needed a man of courage to at least show the people proof the election was legitimate by an investigation to leave no doubt. Instead he quit at a crucial time and look what it got us. Nobody has trust in the system and he caused that by quitting
Barr is a 2 face
The outright deception and lies of the Muller report summary will scar him for life. A book written simply as a weak atrempt to re-write history. A fraud a shill that deserves the dark cave.
Another example of the slimy people Trump surrounds himself with. Birds of a feather
his-book——liar!
Barr did the biding for ignorant trump, Barr was president behind the president.
He banged is tiny little hand on the desk . And Barr said ” COME IN ” 🤣🤣
So why write his book if he could not care what people think . So no need to even do this interview .
toady. trying to sell a crappy book. another trump american traitor.
This guy is only speaking now to plug his book. Such a disgrace to the American people. Does not still mention 10 counts of obstruction-
Mistah Kurtz-he dead
With all the evidence of fraud we have now, there is no question that the 2020 election was rotten. Politicians want to keep electing themselves and pay legal hacks to lie for them. Disgusting.
Barr couldn’t lie straight in bed.
It is these interviews that make Americans mad! This white man should be in a jail cell not living good with money and power, but American white folks are never held to any standard! It is the middle and lower class that are held to a higher standard then the rich and white. They love to go on tv and say otherwise! It’s past time AMERICAN adults stopped acting like children! This man is a criminal and should be in jail.
NBC’s propaganda, deflecting Biden destroying our country from all sides …
We’re being overrun by illegals
Russia is threatening nuclear war and killing civilians in Ukraine because of Biden’s foreign policy
We import oil & in part pay for Russia’s war machine
Biden refuses for a country to be energy independent
Inflation through the roof
Gas prices through the roof
Our country is more divided
NBC thinks a good Trump story always perks up leftists and allows them to remain in their leftist comas…
