With Fox News
Former President Donald Trump and his Attorney General William Barr have not had a warm relationship since leaving the White House, but following the unsealing of the ex-president’s indictment, Barr told Fox News it is clear his former boss is being treated “unjustly.”
“As people know, I’ve had my differences with the president — But in this situation, I think he’s being unjustly treated just as he was by the Russiagate scam and the whole idea of the ‘Resistance’. So I feel bad that this has happened,” Barr said Tuesday on “The Story.”
“I don’t think it’s justified. And so at that very human level, I feel bad for him.”
Donald Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles sat beside him Tuesday when he was arraigned in a New York City courtroom on an indictment stemming from hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels and other alleged crimes.
Necheles is one of three attorneys defending the former president, who pleaded not guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records – a prosecution that he has called a politically driven “witch-hunt.”
To Trump’s right at the defense table sat Necheles and Todd Blanche and to his left, Joe Tacopina.
The motley group of veteran attorneys, who are squaring off for an epic fight against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, couldn’t be more eclectic.
