In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan asked Thompson, D-Miss., whether the panel intends to speak with Barr about aprepared for former President Donald Trump that appears to be among the files the committee has been seeking to obtain from the National Archives.

Barr, an ardent defender of Trump during his presidency, resigned in December 2020 amid lingering tension over Trump's false claims of election fraud., would have authorized the defense secretary to send National Guard troops to seize voting machines around the country in the weeks after the 2020 election.

Thompson said the committee does not know whether anyone in the Pentagon was working on possibly seizing voting machines. He said the draft executive order "is reason enough to believe that it was being proposed."

Former Attorney General William Barr has spoken to January 6 committee, chairman says'We've had conversations with the former attorney general already. We have talked to Department of Defense individuals,' Thompson said. Good, you first have a choice, but then it becomes a demand and who likes that? Especially if you feel you didn’t go as far as the crowd went on Jan 6th, remember, he walked away prior to that date Good to know. But I wouldn’t trust a single word he said. Not even a preposition. I wish Kamala Harris could’ve questioned him personally.
