William Barr blasted Republicans for supporting Donald Trump for president in 2024, saying even without criminal action, Trump's actions have been 'outrageous.'
Former Attorney General William Barr blasted Republicans for supporting former President Donald Trump for president in 2024, saying even without criminal action, Trump's actions have been"outrageous."
"It is one thing to argue that Trump should not face criminal liability. Fine. But the next obvious question is whether, given his conduct, the GOP should continue to promote him for the highest office in the land," Barr said."Many Republicans are avoiding this question and thus implicitly endorsing Trump for the presidency despite his egregious conduct. This posture is untenable.
"While the double standard is real, responding to Trump’s indictment by repetitively invoking this grievance is essentially a dodge. It sidesteps the real questions raised by Trump’s behavior," Barr said. Trump's inability to remove national defense documents from the White House is"beyond debate," Barr said. The former attorney general, as he has in recent months, called out supporters and lawmakers who tried to frame the former president's actions as a"simple custody dispute."
