Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr criticized the indictment of former President Donald Trump, calling it a “disgrace” and a “political hit job” that will harm American politics for the next few years.

Barr, who served as the U.S. attorney general under Trump from 2019 to 2020 and under George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993, provided his thoughts on Trump being indicted by a grand jury for reasons that are not yet known as they remain under seal.
