According to Washington Post journalist Glen Kessler, the group was spotted in McLean, Virginia on Saturday afternoon by a neighbor, who claimed they were there to express frustration that Barr is 'not doing enough to lock up Joe Biden.’
The Justice Department said that Barr went outside to greet the crowd and chatted with them amiably, according to AP reporter Mike Balsamo.
Photos show that one of the protesters had a white horse in the suburban neighborhood, for reasons that were unclear.
Barr explained to the protesters what the DOJ’s role is generally in investigations and then shook hands and posed for photos with the crowd, the DOJ official said.

Trump was reportedly appalled when he learned that Durham would not be announcing any major indictments prior to the November 3 election.

'Let me tell you something, Joe Biden is a criminal and he's been a criminal for a long time, and you're a criminal and the media for not reporting it,' Trump told reporters at a rally earlier this month.
