Former President Donald Trump became detached from reality in the weeks after he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, to the point where he refused to hear from even his closest advisers that there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud, according to his former U.S. attorney general, William Barr.

There was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were, Barr said in new video testimony aired during Mondays hearing of the Jan. 6 committee.

My opinion then and my opinion now is that the election was not stolen by fraud, he said. And I havent seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that.

Barrs deposition to the committee was a central piece of Mondays hearing, which was focused on proving that Trump and his advisers knew he had lost the election to Biden , but that, despite that, Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to convince huge portions of the U.S. population that fraud had stolen the election from him.

In his pre-recorded testimony, Barr recalled that Trump was as mad as Ive ever seen him in early December 2020, when the then-U.S. attorney general told The Associated Press that he saw no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Barr said he had a previously scheduled meeting with the president a few hours after he gave that interview. When he arrived, Trump was so angry that he talked about himself in the third-person.

He said, This is killing me. You didnt have to say this, Barr said Trump yelled at him. You must have said this because you hate Trump. You hate Trump.
