Former President Donald Trump is taking aim at former Attorney General William Barr over his assessment of various investigations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Slovenly and pathetic Bill Barr, our COWARD former A.G., was on ABC FAKE NEWS this weekend making statements that he knows nothing about (he was long since gone from the White House, I wanted him out!) concerning the BOXES HOAX, a continuation of RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, the Mueller Witch Hunt, [and] more.”
“While he correctly puts down the N.Y.D.A. case, he plays up the equally ridiculous BOXES HOAX, where Biden should have the problem, not me. Barr is a weak [and] angry RINO!” he added.
During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Barr was asked which investigation into Trump he would be most concerned about.
The former attorney general brushed off Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case related to hush money payments made before the 2016 election.
“I don’t think it has any merit. I think it is transparently an abuse of prosecutorial power to accomplish a political end,” Barr said.
However, he added, “I’d be most concerned about the documents at Mar-a-Lago.”

He noted the search of Mar-a-Lago happened after “a long period” of federal officials attempting to retrieve classified documents.
“[Trump] had no claim to those documents, especially the classified documents,” Barr continued. “I think he was jerking the government around and they subpoenaed him… but the government is investigating the extent to which games were played and there was obstruction in keeping the documents from them.”
He added, “And I think that’s a serious potential case. I think they probably have some pretty good evidence there.”
