Bill Barr, the former attorney general of the United States, joins 'Your World' to explain the legal issues former President Donald Trump faces as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
Barr, however, said he expects the two federal cases against the 45th president to be tried before the 2024 presidential election.
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg had been investigating former President Donald Trump for alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.in the months leading up to the November election. "Well, to some degree, they might accommodate, you know, a few days here and there, but I don't think that that should govern the schedule for pursuing these cases. You know, you don't get immunity for two years in the run-up to an election just by saying, 'Hey, I'm a candidate. You can't try me,'" Barr said of the chances the proposed trial dates shift around."I mean these investigations have been going on for a while.
The former government official continued, saying the federal cases against Trump are"legitimate" and that the former president engaged in"outrageous behavior" with respect to the classified documents case. "At the end of the day, at the core of this thing, he engaged, in the case of the documents, in outrageous behavior where anyone would be prosecuted. I don't know of any attorney general who could walk away from it.
