Jan. 6 panel has spoken to former AG William Barr, Chairman Bennie Thompson says

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot has spoken to former Attorney General William Barr, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson said Sunday.

In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan asked Thompson, D-Miss., whether the panel intends to speak with Barr about aprepared for former President Donald Trump that appears to be among the files the committee has been seeking to obtain from the National Archives.

Barr, an ardent defender of Trump during his presidency, resigned in December 2020 amid lingering tension over Trump's false claims of election fraud., would have authorized the defense secretary to send National Guard troops to seize voting machines around the country in the weeks after the 2020 election.

Thompson said the committee does not know whether anyone in the Pentagon was working on possibly seizing voting machines. He said the draft executive order "is reason enough to believe that it was being proposed."
