Barr, who has since split from former President Donald Trump, outlined the meeting as one of the most embarrassing moments during his tumultuous two-year tenure in the Trump administration. Trump criticized Barr as a "f***ing loser" while meeting with his underlings to examine their response to riots gripping the nation following George Floyd's death.
“The president was bellowing at a number of his Cabinet secretaries and especially the military guys, the DoD secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and calling all of us f***ing losers at the top of his lungs,” he recounted during an interview with former New York Times editor Bari Weiss on her Honestly podcast.

Since he left the White House, Barr has confessed his feelings for his old boss. The former attorney general has often backed Trump's policies but denounced his character.

In several interviews since Barr has maintained that the claims of voter fraud depriving Trump of victory were "bulls***" and recounted his frustration with Trump's obsession with the 2020 election in his waning White House days.
Now Barr is endorsing someone else for the GOP seat in 2024: "whoever has the best chance of pushing Trump aside." During the interview, he name-dropped Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as possible contenders he could back.

None of those people have announced plans to run in 2024, but Trump had suggested to New York magazine that his mind is made up about a 2024 presidential stint.
Barr also stressed that he was shocked that Democrats and many prominent figures in the media haven't apologized for pushing the so-called "Russiagate hoax" he ripped as the "big lie." Trump had been dogged by allegations that he and his campaign conspired with Russia in a plot of collusion to win the 2016 election.

“I’ve been surprised that the mainstream media and the people who fanned this to the point of hysteria haven’t come back to say, ‘Yeah, there was a big lie in 2016 that has hurt the country and distorted our politics and foreign policy throughout the Trump administration. It was unjust. It was wrong. And we made a mistake.’ Very few, if any, have come out to say that,” Barr said.
