Former U.S. Attorney General and one-time Trump ally Bill Barr appeared on Fox News Sunday to share his assessment of the former President’s classified documents indictment.
“He’s toast,” says Barr.
“It’s a very detailed indictment and it’s very, very damning,” Barr said. “And this idea of presenting Trump as a victim here, or a victim of a witch hunt, is ridiculous. Yes, he’s been a victim in the past. Yes, his adversaries have obsessively pursued him with phony claims. And I’ve been at his side defending against them when he is a victim. But this is much different. He’s not a victim here.”
“They’re official records, they’re not his personal records, battle plans for an attack on another country, or Defense Department documents about our capabilities are in no universe, Donald J. Trump’s personal documents,” he said. “They are the government’s documents.”
“I have spoken out for 30 years about the abuse of the criminal justice process to influence politics,” Barr said. “But this is simply not true [in this case]. This particular episode of trying to retrieve those documents, the government acted responsibly. And it was Donald J. Trump, who acted irresponsibly.”

Trump, Barr’s former boss, didn’t take too kindly to that assessment; he called Barr a “gutless pig” on TRUTH Social on Sunday shortly after seeing the clip.
Trump’s TRUTH Social post:
Virtually everyone is saying that the Indictment is about Election Interference & should not have been brought, except Bill Barr, a “disgruntled former employee” & lazy Attorney General who was weak & totally ineffective. He doesn’t mean what he’s saying, it’s just MISINFORMATION.Barr’s doing it because he hates “TRUMP” for firing him. He was deathly afraid of the Radical Left when they said they would Impeach him. He knows the Indictment is Bull…. Turn off FoxNews when that “Gutless Pig” is on!
