    Barr, who was appointed by Trump, responded “of course” when asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if he would be willing to appear as a witness in Trump’s trial over federal charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    This makes it sound like he thinks he has a choice.

      I mean, there are a lot of deflections he could have used, like “I would have to consider executive privilege” or something.

      It’s the tone more than the sentiment.

        Executive privilege is off the table. He already litigated that and lost. He will be subpoenaed and he will testify.
