Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Thursday argued that former President Donald Trump’s 2024 White House bid shouldn’t give him “immunity” from prosecutors and suggested the ex-commander-in-chief “will be convicted of some counts” before Election Day.
“I don’t think that that should govern the schedule for pursuing these cases,” Barr, 73, said of Trump’s campaign schedule. “You know, you don’t get immunity for two years in the run-up to an election just by saying, ‘Hey, I’m a candidate.’” Barr argued that it is unlikely to be tried before the 2024 presidential election and that it makes it “look like people are piling on and being excessive to Trump and feeds the narrative that he’s being victimized.”
“I think the federal cases are legitimate. At the end of the day, at the core of this thing, he engaged, in the case of the documents, in outrageous behavior where anyone would be prosecuted,” Barr argued. “There’s ways of having custody without putting him in, you know, in federal facilities. You can have home detention and other things,” Barr said of the most likely result of a Trump conviction. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
