Bill Barr Criticizes the Concept of Trump Trials, Accusing it of Interfering with Elections
Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr dismissed the idea of postponing former President Donald Trump’s trials because he is running for president in 2024. Barr stated that the trials are not interfering with the election and that prominent individuals should not be immune from facing consequences for their alleged crimes. Trump and his legal team have requested trial dates after the 2024 election, claiming that the indictments are interfering with the election process. Barr compared this argument to a hypothetical situation where a mayor charged with embezzlement asks for a trial delay while running for reelection.
