Former Attorney General William P. Barr on Thursday condemned President Trump in a scathing statement one day after the president’s supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol.
“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable. The president’s conduct yesterday was betrayal of his office and supporters,” Mr. Barr said in a blistering statement.
While some members of the Trump administration resigned in protest of the riot at the Capitol, Mr. Barr had been a fierce defender of the president during several high-profile controversies.
