Barr Says Outside Agitators Taking Over Protests

Reuters

   WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Saturday
   "outside radicals and agitators" have hijacked protests in U.S. cities
   over the death of an unarmed black man in police custody in
   Minneapolis.

   "Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation
   to pursue their own separate and violent agenda," Barr said in an
   on-camera statement.

   "It is a federal crime to cross state lines or use interstate
   facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting and we will
   enforce those laws," he added.
