The report surfaced on Wednesday and contradicted the narrative that the park was cleared so President Donald Trump could hold a photo opportunity at a nearby church.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump in a statement on Wednesday thanked the inspector general, saying park police made the decision to install fencing in order to provide protection from Antifa, BLM and other violent demonstrators. Then Attorney General William Barr, defended the decision to use force to clear the rioters, saying it was necessary to gain control of the situation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2420090\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2420090\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2420090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/barr-595x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"Attorney General William Barr watches a Republican Exhibit video of people rioting, during the House Judiciary Committee hearing in the Congressional Auditorium at the US Capitol Visitors Center July 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. - In his first congressional testimony in more than a year, Barr is expected to face questions from the committee about his deployment of federal law enforcement agents to Portland, Oregon, and other cities in response to Black Lives Matter protests; his role in using federal agents to violently clear protesters from Lafayette Square near the White House last month before a photo opportunity for President Donald Trump in front of a church; his intervention in court cases involving Trump's allies Roger Stone and Michael Flynn; and other issues.

When commenting on the weekend, Barr said, \u201cwe decided that we needed more of a buffer to protect the White House and to protect our agents and Secret Service personnel who could be reached by projectiles from H Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The claims against Trump were also the center of a BLM lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice. However, Barr confirmed that there was no correlation between the plan to expand the perimeter and the president going over to the church.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/israeli-parliament-to-vote-sunday-on-new-coalition-government\/\">Israeli Parliament To Vote Sunday On New Coalition Government<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman holds onto a fence surrounding Lafayette Park as part of the expanded protective perimeter around the White House on January 17, 2021 in Washington, DC.
