BILL BARR SAYS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WENT 'TOO FAR' IN PROSECUTING JAN. 6 CAPITOL
RIOT CASES

Some people, such as those who assaulted police officers and broke into the
Capitol, should be prosecuted for Jan. 6, Barr said.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said that the Justice Department went "too
far" in charging more than 1,200 people in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot,
including those he said simply walked around the building but did not assault
anyone.

"Like everything else the left does, they did, I think, go too far," Barr said
Saturday, the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot, in an interview on Fox News.

Some people, such as those who assaulted police officers and literally broke
into the Capitol, should be prosecuted for Jan. 6, Barr said.

"But I think they cast their net far too broadly and have been hounding people
that really, you know, just walked into open doors in the Capitol and hung
around," he also said. "I think they just took it too far."



Barr said that he does not want to "minimize" the events of Jan. 6, but he
thinks it was a "shameful episode" rather than an insurrection. 

The Justice Department said last week that more than 1,265 defendants have been
charged in connection to the riot in nearly all 50 states. More than 90% of the
defendants, or about 1,186 of them, were charged with entering or remaining in a
restricted federal building or grounds.
