Bill Barr Reveals How Donald Trump Frequently Talked About ‘Executing’ Rivals
HuffPost
But the former attorney general then immediately downplayed his admission.
Bill Barr, who served as Donald Trump’s attorney general, admitted on CNN that Trump regularly ranted about executing those who crossed him when he was president.
But in the next breath, Barr downplayed the former president’s threats.
Instead, Barr told “The Source” anchor Kaitlan Collins that it was his “feeling” that Trump wouldn’t actually act on his chilling rhetoric.
Collins brought up Trump’s reported rants and noted how former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin has claimed Trump suggested executing an unknown White House staffer who’d “leaked a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests.”
“I remember him being very mad about that,” Barr told Collins. “I actually don’t remember him saying ‘executing,’ but I wouldn‘t dispute it.”
