Bill Barr's Candid Remarks on Trump's Conduct and Investigations.

Former Attorney General William Barr criticized his former boss, Donald Trump, for his alleged actions described in his recently unsealed federal indictment, comparing him to a "defiant, 9-year-old kid." Barr also condemned the legal theory used to justify Trump's actions as "absurd" and "wacky." He believes that Trump will always prioritize his own interests over the country's interests and should not continue to be the Republican standard-bearer. Barr also stated that he believes Trump is vulnerable in the Jan. 6 case and that the government acted responsibly in his indictment. Some Republican presidential hopefuls are refusing to condemn Trump, while others, including Mark Esper, former defense secretary under Trump, stressed the dangers of anyone retaining classified documents.
