    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former Attorney General Bill Barr said he is willing to testify against former President Trump at his Jan. 6 trial.

    Barr has been a staunch critic of the former president since he resigned from his post shortly after the 2020 election.

    He noted that the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith was a “challenging” one, but that he does not think it “runs afoul of the First Amendment.”

    “Well, I go through that in my book in painstaking detail, but on three occasions at least, I told him in no uncertain terms, that there was no evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome,” he said.

    Trump was indicted last week over his attempts to stay in power after losing the 2020 presidential election to President Biden.

    In a 45-page indictment, the Justice Department alleges Trump engaged in a campaign of “dishonesty, fraud and conceit” to obstruct a “bedrock function” of a democracy.
