Former Attorney General Bill Barr suggested Monday that he still would vote for former President Donald Trump despite noted differences with his former boss.
Barr, while promoting his new book, said it was “inconceivable” that he would not vote for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
Barr, while promoting his new book, said it was “inconceivable” that he would not vote for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
During his “Today” appearance, Barr was asked whether Trump should run again in ’24.
“Well, I certainly have made it clear – I don’t think he should be our nominee, and I’m going to support somebody else for the nominee,” Barr told Guthrie.
Barr, who served as attorney general under former President George H.W. Bush, returned to the office under Trump from February 2019 until his resignation in December 2020.
He left office after being criticized by Trump and the then-president’s allies for not investigating alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Axios reported that Trump ripped Barr in a three-page letter to “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt, whose interview with the former attorney general was broadcast Sunday night.
“I would imagine that if the book is anything like him, it will be long, slow and very boring,” Trump wrote in the letter, a copy of which was acquired by Axios. “I made many great appointments during my Administration, and we accomplished more than most Administrations could even dream of, but Bill Barr was not one of my better picks. He crumbled under the pressure, and bowed to the Radical Left — And that is not acceptable.
“Now he is groveling to the media, hoping to gain acceptance that he doesn’t deserve.”
