Attorney General William Barr said Monday that the US Secret Service recommended moving President Trump to the underground White House bunker during late May protests, contradicting the President’s earlier assertion that his visit to the bunker was for “inspection,” CNN reports.
Said Barr: “Things were so bad that the Secret Service recommended that the President go down to the bunker. We can’t have that in our country.”
