Ahead of President Donald Trump’s historic impeachment on Dec. 18, Attorney General William Barr warned against the president’s indictment being “trivialized” and used as a “political tool” by Democrats.

In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday as the House of Representatives debated two articles of impeachment against the president, Barr argued that the allegations against Trump do not meet the high standard for impeachment required by the Constitution.
