what does this exchange between Barr -- Leahy mean?

Barr laughs about talking to Trump in front of several Supreme Court justices.

What is this about??

Seems very sarcastic from Barr.

The transcript doesn't show it all; you have to watch the short clip.

with Trump, but since we was not ... he didn't?

Had Barr been sworn in yet as of St. Patricks Day, I forget?

Leahy is asking about what was discussed, Barr is answering whether or not he was alone with the President.

It was likely intentional on Barr's part to avoid answering the real question.
