Attorney General William Barr told «Special Report» Monday that the claim law enforcement forcefully expanded a protest perimeter around the White House last week so President Trump could visit St. John Church for a photo op last week is a «canard.»
Barr told host Bret Baier that the decision to expand the perimeter was made the previous evening, after protests over the death of George Floyd gave way to looting and violence, including a fire that damaged part of the Episcopal church on Lafayette Park.
«Based on what I know now, no,» Barr told Baier when asked if he would do anything differently.
«On Monday, we were reacting to three days of extremely violent demonstrations right across from the White House,» Barr said.
