Barr also criticized a judge’s order authorizing a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from Trump’s Florida home Mar-a-Lago.
"But I think at the end of the day, there's another question, [which] is do you indict a former president? What will that do to the country, what kind of precedent will that set, will the people really understand that this is not, you know, failing to return a library book, that this was serious," Barr said.
"But I also think they'll be under a lot of pressure to indict him, because — one question is, look, if anyone else would have gotten indicted, why not indict him?" he added. The ruling, which Trump's lawyers sought, temporarily blocks the DOJ from reviewing or using the materials it took from Mar-a-Lago in the Aug. 8 raid.
"She dodges it, and then she says she's bringing in a special master to look at whether stuff is executive privilege or not. That's not what the dispute is," Barr said."I hope it's appealed."
