The indictment against Trump is "extremely damning," according to his former attorney general.

 

Donald Trump's former Attorney General, Bill Barr, has spoken out about the 37-count criminal indictment unsealed against the former president. In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Barr stated that if even half of the allegations are true, Trump is in serious trouble. He described the indictment as "very detailed" and "very, very damning," and dismissed Trump's claims of being a victim of a witch hunt. The indictment alleges that Trump willfully retained hundreds of classified government records at his Florida home and conspired to prevent their return to U.S. officials. These records reportedly contain sensitive information about defense and weapons capabilities, nuclear programs, and potential vulnerabilities of the U.S. and its allies. Trump stored these classified materials in various locations around Mar-a-Lago, including a ballroom, bathroom, shower, office space, bedroom, and storage room. Barr criticized the former president's handling of these documents and stated that they are among the country's most sensitive secrets. While some Republicans, including presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, have rallied around Trump, Democrats like Sen. Chris Coons have emphasized that no one is above the law.
