Insurrection Act proclamationTPM – Talking Points Memo

68% Informative
An Inspector General report released on Wednesday details how the White House prepared for the President to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell protests in Washington D.C. in June 2020 .
Some FBI officials believed that Trump would invoke the act, and were studying what it would mean for their agency.
The IG report found that then-Attorney General Bill Barr did not order law enforcement to clear Lafayette Park , but that decision was taken by senior Park Police and Secret Service personnel.
The Lafayette Park report is the third investigation dealing with Barr ’s tenure as Attorney General that the Justice Department Inspector General has released over the past week .
Across the reports, Barr comes off as both a micromanager and strangely unfocused.
The DOJ seems scattered under his leadership, according to the report.
