Trump Administration Attorney General William Barr said over the weekend that prosecutors likely have \u201cvery good evidence\u201d that the former president committed obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barr made the remarks on Easter Sunday during an interview on ABC News\u2019 \u201cThis Week\u201d while discussing the numerous criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barr expressed his doubts about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s investigation into Trump’s alleged role in a hush-money scheme. The former AG said that he believes that Democrats are trying to use the investigations to \u201cget into the middle of the Republican primary process and turn it into a circus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cAnd I think, ultimately, the savvy Democratic strategists know this is going to help Trump, and they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the Republican candidates, the most likely to lose again to Biden,\u201d Barr warned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The former AG instead said Trump’s main concern should be the investigation surrounding the classified documents recovered in Mar-A-Lago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe raid on Mar-a-Lago was \u201ctaken after a long period, about a year-and-a-half of trying to get the documents from him, which he had no claim to,\u201d Barr said. \u201cHe had no claim to those documents, especially the classified documents. They belonged to the government. And so, I think he was jerking the government around. And they subpoenaed it. And they tried to jawbone him into delivering documents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut the government is investigating the extent to which games were played and there was obstruction in keeping documents from them,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s a serious potential case. I think they probably have some very good evidence there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Barr said that there is \u201ca very good chance\u201d that Trump will be criminally indicted in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
