"Former AG Bill Barr: Trump's Defiant Gesture Towards Government"

Former Attorney General Bill Barr believes that failing to prosecute former President Donald Trump would be unjust, stating that Trump brought the indictment on himself through his refusal to return U.S. government documents. Barr described Trump's behavior as "contumacious" and characterized it as a power play and act of self-assertion. He argued that the government had no choice but to execute a search to retrieve the documents, and that the case against Trump is righteous as far as the law is concerned. Barr also addressed the argument of a double standard, stating that the solution is to apply the right standard in this case and going forward. He expressed his belief that Trump may face further indictments, particularly in relation to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
