Former AG Bill Barr: Bragg’s Case Against Trump ‘A Political Act,’ Will ‘Gravely Weaken Trump’

Former Attorney General William Barr stated on ABC’s’s” This Week” on April 9 that the accusation against Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is” openly an abuse of legal power to gain a political function ,” which will” gravely weaken Trump” in the general election.

On April 4, Trump entered a not guilty plea to 34 works of falsifying company information in the first stage in court in New York City.

Following an investigation into a alleged attempt to use” hush money” payments of$ 130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and$ 150 000 to Karen McDougal’s’s prosecutors prior to the 2016 presidential election, he was charged by the Manhattan DA office on March 30.

Trump” orchestrated a project with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing significant information about him to control its release and edge the defendant’s’s electoral prospects ,” according to the 16-page prosecution and accompanying statement of facts.

Trump claimed that Bragg, a Democrat, brought the case ahead because he is driven by politics and has denied all wrong and the alleged matters.

Barr, who acted as Trump’s’s attorney general from 2019 to 2020, said,” I think this way is unfair.” That’s’s not to say, however, that the president is not entitled to every legal challenge.

Bragg is” trying to hide the ball” and his way” lacks validity.”

This is, regrettably, a glaring example of that kind of victimization.” The left is usually talking about the negative effects of politicizing the criminal justice system, and I couldn’t agree more, that that’s’s serious danger.” Additionally, I believe it does succeed in its goal of turning the Democratic primary into a rodeo by intervening in it.

The savvy Democratic strategists, according to Barr,” know that Bragg’s’s investigation will benefit Trump, and they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the Republican candidates, the most likely to lose to [ President Joe ] Biden again.”

” If it was done in the course of corruption, falsifying a business report is illegal.” Barr continued,” And I don’t watch anywhere at around precisely what the scams was.” These were his personal business details, he said. The company information belonged to his own company, and he was paying himself the quiet money. He is the business’s’s owner. I fail to see who was duped.

Barr responded that he doesn’t believe” anything is going to happen before a nomination is made and possibly even until the election, the 2024 election ,” when asked if it is likely that Trump will be found guilty and sent to prison.

According to Barr,” This will bring out through 24 and hinder and disrupt the entire Republican main process.” However, I also believe that it will significantly diminish Trump as far as the normal election is concerned. He’s’s already there, I think.
