Bill Barr criticizes NY AG for ‘overreach’ in going after Trump’s children
Summary by Ground News
Former Attorney General William Barr says decision by New York's attorney general to sue former President Trump constitutes prosecutorial overreach. “It’s hard for me not to conclude that this is a political hit job,” Barr said Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News. “I’m not even sure that she has a good case against Trump himself, but what ultimately persuades me that this is a political hit job is that she grossly overreaches when she tries to drag the children into this.” New York Attorney General Letitia James earlier on Wednesday announced a lawsuit in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan against Trump and his businesses. James accused Trump of falsely inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself.
