'I respect Attorney General Barr, so I accepted what he was saying,' she said. The House was played a recording of Barr saying he saw no evidence of voting fraud or issues with the Dominion voting machines, calling Donald Trump’s public claims 'complete nonsense'. 'I told them that it was that it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time on that and it was doing a great grave disservice to the country,' he said.
