Former Attorney General William Barr responded to the indictment of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday in New York City criminal court.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be a winner," Barr said."And at some point, someone who has not been infected by the craziness of our age is going to come in and straighten this thing out at some level of the judiciary, even if it goes into the federal appellate system. And since it all turns on a federal criminal statute, I think it would ultimately come to that."
The former president has since gained some international support in his case, with right-leaning Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban writing on Twitter that Trump should"keep fighting." "And as I've said, this appears to be just a pathetically weak case that is, I think, demonstrably wrong on the law -- which explains why the Department of Justice -- even after I left office -- has never pursued this idea of a campaign-finance problem."Barr also suggested Merchan should weigh whether Bragg has"overreach[ed]" in a way that could not only affect the Democrat's reputation but his own on the bench.
