- Attorney General William Barr contradicted President Donald Trump’s claim that he was taken to the White House security bunker for an “inspection” on May 29, rather than for safety reasons.
- Barr said the Secret Service advised the president to take shelter in the bunker because the anti-racism protests outside the White House posed a security threat.
- “Things were so bad that the Secret Service recommended the president go down to the bunker,” Barr told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview aired Monday. “We can’t have that in our country.”
- The Washington Post reported last week that the president, First Lady Melania Trump, and their son Barron were all rushed to the secure bunker after several protesters breached a barricade outside the White House.
