Barr disputes narrative surrounding Trump’s controversial photo-op at church
Attorney General William Barr on Sunday sought to rewrite the narrative surrounding President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to walk across Lafayette Square on Monday to briefly hold a photo-op at St. John’s Church.
Asked if anything should have been done differently, Barr said he saw no obvious problems with the operation. Barr said the protesters were given three warnings, and the decision to clear the area around the church was made Sunday night and then reconfirmed on Monday at 2 p.m — and thus, according to Barr’s account, not tied to Trump’s walk across the park.
The assembled protesters, widely described as unarmed and peaceful and including several clergy members, were, according to Barr, “a very rowdy, noncompliant crowd.” Projectiles were thrown, Barr said, and the police met resistance when they moved on the protesters.
