Attorney General William Barr reportedly told U.S. federal prosecutors during a conference call last week that they needed to be aggressive in charging the violent rioters terrorizing American cities, adding that prosecutors should consider going after them for plotting to overthrow the U.S. government.

Barr reportedly encouraged prosecutors to consider charging the far-left extremists behind the violence with a rarely used sedition law.
