Former Attorney General Bill Barr has been subpoenaed as part of Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox News, which claimed in the aftermath of the 2020 election that the company's software has been compromised by voter fraud.
The subpoena was reportedly circulated last week along with subpoenas of other officials, including Secretary of Georgia Brad Raffensperger, who rejected Donald Trump's request to "find" just enough votes in his favor to overturn the election.
In the wake of the 2020 election, Trump baselessly claimed that Dominion's voting machines had systematically switched Trump's votes with Biden's votes, giving the president an unfair advantage. That claim was at the heart of the select committee's first hearing on the Capitol riot last month, which featured closed-door testimony from Barr, who at first legitimized Trump's election denials but later refused to go along with them.

"I told them it was crazy stuff and they were wasting their time on it, and they were doing a great disservice to the country," Barr said of Trump's conspiracy theories about Dominion's voting machines, which were trumpeted in 2020 and 2021 by multiple anchors on Fox News. "I saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations, but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people."
