Former President Donald Trump is dismissing his daughter, Ivanka Trumpâs, testimony about her perspective on the outcome of the 2020 election.
Trump responded to his daughterâs testimony in a post on his Truth Social platform.
âIvanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results,â he wrote.
Trump added, âShe had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).â
The former presidentâs comments come after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol aired footage of Ivanka Trump before the panel.
In the video, she shared that then-Attorney General William Barrâs statement that his department did not find evidence that fraud altered the outcome of the election impacted her perspective.
âIt affected my perspective. I respect Attorney General Barr, so I accepted what he was saying,â she said.
Watch the video below:
After the 2020 election, Trump repeatedly claimed that it was âstolen.â
However, in Dec. 2020, Barr told the Associated Press, âTo date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.â
In an op-ed published by The Wall Street Journal, Barr claimed Trump was furious about his comments to the AP.
âYou must hate Trump. You would only do this if you hate Trump,â the former president allegedly said.
Barr wrote that he responded, âOur mission is to investigate and prosecute actual fraud.â
âThe fact is, we have looked at the major claims your people are making, and they are bullsh*t,â he continued.
Barr added, âThe reason you are in this position is that you wheeled out a clown show, and no quality lawyers who would otherwise be willing to help will get anywhere near it.â
In June 2021, Trump criticized Barr, and called him a âdisappointment in every sense of the word.â
