CNN reports:
Former Attorney General William Barr on Friday stood by his widely criticized comments before the 2020 election that mail voting was vulnerable to fraud, even as he condemned Trump’s false post-election claims that the 2020 contest had been stolen from him. “I stand by all of that,” Barr told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead.”
