Hes become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff, William P. Barr, the former attorney general, told the panel, adding, There was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.
In a hearing focused on the origins and spread of Mr. Trumps lie of a stolen election, the panel played excerpts from Mr. Barrs testimony, as well as that of a chorus of campaign aides and administration officials who recounted, one after the other, how his claims of election irregularities were bogus.
