The former attorney general has often defended Trump&#8217;s policies but disparaged his character. Barr resigned from his perch as the No. 1 <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/justice-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justice Department<\/a> official in December 2020 while Trump and his allies peddled assertions that the 2020 election was &#8220;rigged.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In multiple interviews since, Barr has <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/06\/14\/bill-barr-bullsh-t-voter-fraud-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insisted<\/a> that the claims of voter fraud depriving Trump of victory were &#8220;bulls***&#8221; and recounted his frustration with Trump&#8217;s obsession with the 2020 election in his waning White House days. <\/p>\n<p>Now Barr is backing someone else for the GOP nod in 2024: &#8220;whoever has the best chance of pushing Trump aside.&#8221; During the interview, he name-dropped <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ron-desantis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a>, former <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nikki-haley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.N.

Ted Cruz <\/a>(R-TX), and former <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-pompeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secretary of State Mike Pompeo<\/a> as possible contenders he could back. <\/p>\n<p>So far, none of those people have announced plans to run in 2024, but Trump had indicated to <i>New York <\/i>magazine that his mind is made up about a 2024 presidential stint. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Barr also noted that he was surprised that <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrats <\/a>and many prominent figures in the media haven&#8217;t apologized for pushing the so-called &#8220;Russiagate hoax&#8221; he ripped as the &#8220;big lie.&#8221; Trump had been dogged by allegations that he and his campaign conspired with Russia in a plot of collusion to win the 2016 election. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been surprised that the mainstream media and the people who fanned this to the point of hysteria haven\u2019t come back to say, \u2018Yeah, there was a big lie in 2016 that has hurt the country and distorted our politics and foreign policy throughout the Trump administration. It was unjust. It was wrong. And we made a mistake.\u2019 Very few, if any, have come out to say that,\u201d Barr said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Attorney General William Barr recently recalled getting hit with his onetime boss&#8217;s classic insult: a loser.
