The former attorney general assessed Friday that the Justice Department is getting 'deeper and deeper' into the probe of Trump and top administration officials.
News, Barr gave his assessment on the latest reported developments of the Justice Department's probe, and said recent grand jury subpoenas for high-ranking Trump administration officials are"significant."
Former Attorney General William Barr told CBS News on Friday that evidence is"building" against former President Donald Trump related to January 6, 2021. Above, Barr is seen on May 3 in New York City."This suggests to me that they're taking a hard look at the group at the top, including the president and the people immediately around him who were involved in this," the legal expert said.
Barr went on to say that he thinks the"evidence definitely has been building" against Trump. However, the former attorney general said that what he's seen from the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack in its publicly televised hearings has not yet convinced that there is enough to prove beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt that the former president committed a crime. He went on to say that the Justice Department continues to probe the events of January 6.
"I'm sure what they're doing is getting deeper and deeper into it," he said, referring to the Justice Department."So, I think what [Attorney General] is trying to do here is trying to say, 'Hey look, I am looking hard at this, and if we find any crime, we will prosecute it.'"
