The Jan. 6 committee aired a closed door video of former Attorney General Bill Barr's deposition to kick of the prime-time hearing.

Driving the news: "I told the president it was b******t. I didn't want to be a part of it," Barr said.

What they're saying: Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said that testimony will reveal Trump saying that former Vice President Mike Pence "deserves" to be hanged on Jan. 6, which rioters were shouting.

• "Maybe our supporters have the right idea," Trump said, according to a testimony read by Cheney.

The big picture: Barr, who resigned in December 2020, has said that former President Trump's false claims about the 2020 presidential election fueled his decision to cut ties with Trump.

• Barr said in December 2020 that the Department of Justice had not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the result of the presidential election.
