'Political hit job': Bill Barr blasts TishJames, predicts Trump suit will backfire
Barr contended that it is hard not to conclude that the suit, announced Wednesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James, is a"political hit job" and jabbed at James for engaging in"gross overreach" by dragging Trump's children into the suit, hypothesizing that the legal tiff will backfire against her."It's hard for me not to conclude it's a political hit job," Barr told Fox News.
Bill Barr tells Fox that NYAG Letitia James"grossly overreaches when she tries to drag the children into this" because Eric, Don Jr., and Ivanka, are not"expected in the real world to due their own due diligence." pic.twitter.com/dIyFhe9XrOShe accused the Trumps of manipulating asset valuations for tax and business benefits and cited a litany of appraisals and other financial documents in her sprawling, 200-plus-page lawsuit.
Both Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have tweeted clips of James's past remarks, in which she committed to"be a real pain in the a** to him." Trump himself also lambasted the suit as a"witch hunt." James noted during a press conference that the courts have not disqualified her from investigating Trump despite her past remarks.
