Fmr. Atty. General Bill Barr called the newest federal grand jury subpoenas probing the Jan. 6, 202, Capitol riot 'a significant event,' one that suggests that government prosecutors are probing high-ranking Trump administration officials and allies.
The Justice Department's criminal investigation into Jan. 6 now includes questions for witnesses about theand his reelection campaign, though it is not evident from CBS News' reporting that Trump himself is a target of the investigation — only that that prosecutors have been asking questions related to him and his aides.
While Barr thinks that Trump might be able to block some testimony with an executive privilege argument, he said,"I don't think it would block all the testimony." He ticked off a list of ways in which a privilege argument"is inapplicable here." "And then they would have other arguments, like the crime-fraud exception," Barr told Herridge."If it's part of the crime itself, it's not covered."
Though he thinks the evidence has been building, after the last Jan. 6 hearings,"if this is what there is, as attorney general, I still don't see that as a sufficient basis to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed by the president." Barr said he believes the Justice Department is still"getting deeper and deeper into it," and if Attorney General Merrick Garland finds a crime, he'll prosecute.
