horrific day. what i saw was a war scene. i was flipping and peoples blood, i couldn t believe my. eyes what is still to come and what would that impact be? plus, please and protest to end mask ratings in america. can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problem on our hand? both sides say they want a deal. but will this time be different? and, skyrocketing inflation. record-breaking pain at the pump. understand americans are anxious, they re anxious with good reason. i m doing everything in my power to stop putin s price hike. but can biden convince a weary nation that he s doing enough? inside politics, the biggest stories, sourced by the best reporters. now. welcome to inside politics sunday, i m abby phillips. no united states president has ever faced allegations like this. that donald trump was at the heart of a coordinated conspiracy to steal the presidency. on the morning of january 6th, president
three times. the theme of being the person who is in between justice or the department of justice and the rest of the world looking at the proxy argument he s talking about, why this is so significant to hear from the former attorney general, who was the highest prosecutor in the land for quite some time, it s this notion of even he believed that donald trump was aware that he lost the election. why is that important? it tries to pour cold water on the idea he s using political speech and he can say whatever he wants. they are alleging as part of a scheme that based on his knowledge, he knew what he was saying would be part of a conspiracy to overturn and overthrow the election results. that s significant to come from attorney barr. that s one of the things that was cited as a collection of people about what knowledge trump had. just for us, you don t have to essentially hook up to a lie detector test.
potential looking at evidence. i told him the stuff he was shutsling to the public was bull that the claims of fraud were bull [ bleep ]. i respect attorney barr, so i accepted what he was saying. so, look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes. there were no votes to find. that was an accurate count that had been certified. so he had said something to the effect of i don t know want people to know we lost, mark, this sem barsing. figure it out, we need to figure it out. i don t want people to know that we lost. why did you decide to march to the capitol? basically, you know, the president got everybody riled up, told everybody to head on down, so we basically were following what he said. i overheard the president say something to the effect of i
search. they ve tried to say that there is a lot of information that we don t know here, including potentially how extensive this breach was. how many people, you know, potentially had access to these documents? was it a small handful? was it a lot of people given that we know a number of people circulate through mar-a-lago on a daily basis? who exactly got their hands on this information? and the fact that there was classified information right next to nonclassified, you know, the intel officials and former intel official is talked to say that s just 101 no-no that they re not supposed to be put together at any point. i mean, nick, to the point that attorney barr made as well, he called it jawboning, the idea of this constant back and forth. there has been a tremendous amount of deference, let s say to the former president to have a back and forth, to try to negotiate it seems the terms of returning what is supposed to be the property of the government.
information about documents taken from donald trump s mar-a-lago estate. a federal judge has unsealed a detailed inventory of items from the august 8th search. it shows that classified documents had been mixed in with personal items and other materials. federal investigators also retrieved more than 11,000 nonclassified government documents. they also found dozens of empty folders with classified banners on them. trump s former attorney barr said there was no legitimate reason for the documents to be at mar-a-lago. i frankly am skeptical of this claim that i declassified everything. you know, because frankly i think it s highly improbable and second, if, in fact, he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them and said i hereby declassify everything in here, that would be such an abuse that show
