U.S. Attorney General William Barr personally asked for protesters to be pushed back from Washington's Lafayette Square on Monday just before President Donald Trump spoke from the White House Rose Garden, the Washington Post reported, citing an unnamed Justice Department official.

Following his brief speech on Monday, Trump walked out of the White House, with a heavy security detail, across Lafayette Square to St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he stopped in front of boarded-up windows and held up a Bible for cameras before walking back to the White House. Barr and other top aides joined Trump on the walk to the church, which had been damaged by fire amid protests Sunday night.
