Former Attorney General Bill Barr explained Monday that Joe Biden “lied to the American people” about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal when he was a candidate for President.

The comments are especially eyebrow-raising because Barr was attorney general when the laptop scandal broke in October 2020, meaning he was privy to information that was not made public, including why the FBI seized the infamous laptop from the Delaware computer repair shop in December 2019.

During an interview on Fox News, anchor John Roberts asked Barr about the laptop scandal, observing that Biden’s circle dismissed the story as “Russian disinformation.”
