Bill Barr: DOJ Has Over 500 Investigations Into Violent Rioters
June 26, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
United States Attorney General William Barr announced that the Department of Justice is leading over 500 investigations into the destruction caused by riots across the country. Barr explained the reason for the investigations on Sen. Ted Cruz’s podcast “The Verdict.â€
“We’ve had scores of indictments so far for such things as arson, destruction of federal property,†Barr said. “We have right now about 500 investigations underway, so it’s picking up pace. We are committed to holding accountable the people who engaged in this.â€
Barr explained the reason for the increase in investigations is heavily associated with the lack of response by other levels of government.
“That’s where the burden is right now, on state and local, and in many places, they’re not stepping up to the plate, they’re not doing their job,†said Barr.
