Bill Barr Refuses to Say if He Helped Jack Smith with Latest Trump Indictment
Former Attorney General Bill Barr refused to answer whether he cooperated with special counsel Jack Smith regarding his latest indictment against former President Donald Trump.
Barr appeared on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” on Wednesday to argue that Smith was right to indict Trump for claiming the 2020 election was rigged.
“As the indictment says, they’re not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy,” Barr claimed.

When host Kaitlin Collins asked Barr if he spoke to Smith’s office amid its investigation into Trump, Barr replied, “I’m not gonna get into that.”

Notably, Barr had stonewalled the investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop preceding the 2020 election.
He also refused to investigate legitimate concerns of voter fraud and other electoral shenanigans in the 2020 election despite sounding the alarm over ballot fraud with universal mail-in ballots months before the election.
Now it Barr supports Smith’s indictment of Trump for having the wrong speech about the election.
Constitutional scholars and registered Democrats like Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz slammed Smith’s indictment for specifically targeting Trump over his free speech.
Dershowitz insisted Barr was “dead wrong” on his interpretation of Smith’s indictment.
“I like Bill Barr. He’s a good man, but I think he’s just dead wrong about that,” Dershowitz said Thursday on Fox News. “Of course, this is a free speech case. Everything involves his exercise of free speech and not only First Amendment free speech, but also the First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances.”
