Donald Trump's longtime ally Roger Stone has accused Bill Barr of being a "block for the deep state," after the attorney general shot down claims Trump lost the election due to widespread voter fraud.
In a video posted to right-wing social media site Parler, Stone accused Barr of being implicated in a conspiracy theory that there is a secret layer of government featuring unofficial individuals and advisers that influence key decisions and policies.
Trump has frequently suggested the existence of a "deep state" working against him, including recently claiming the Food and Drug Administration is trying to sabotage him by delaying a potential COVID-19 vaccine. The belief that Trump has been fighting a secret war against the deep state is also a key component of the QAnon movement.
"We have a two-tiered justice system and Bill Barr's job is to block for the deep state," Stone said.
