.MaddowBlog: Why AG Barr exposed Pres. Trump's bunker inspection claim as a lie
what happened -- or at least what he wanted people to believe happened. Trump insisted that the news reports were"false," adding,"I went down during the day, and I was there for a tiny little short period of time."
When the host asked specifically if the Secret Service told him he needed to head to the bunker, Trump said,"No, they didn't tell me that at all. They said it would be a good time to go down, take a look because maybe some time you're going to need it." Trump's ridiculous version of events: the president is many things, but"bunker inspector" isn't one of them.We're left with a couple of lingering questions: why did Trump peddle such an absurd falsehood and why did Bill Barr make his boss look even worse?
