Attorney General William Barr is contradicting President Donald Trump’s claim regarding going down to the bunker of the White House.
Barr was asked about that controversial day on June 1 when demonstrators were cleared out from near the White House with force so that the president could take a walk to St. John’s Church.
When mentioning the moment at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., Fox News’ Bret Baier asked, “If you had to do Monday over again, would you do something different?”
Barr responded, “Based on what I know now, no.”
The attorney general continued to say that Law Enforcement was reacting to three days of “extremely violent demonstrations.”
Barr then mentioned regarding Trump going to the secure bunker, “Things were so bad that the Secret Service recommended the president go down to the bunker.”
“We can’t have that in our country,” he added. “So the decision was made. We had to move the perimeter one block and that is what we were doing.”
