'If even half of it is true, then he's toast,' Bill Barr said Sunday about the federal indictment against Donald Trump.
"I was shocked by the degree of sensitivity of these documents and how many there were, frankly," Barr told host Shannon Bream."And so the government's agenda was to get those, protect those documents, and get them out, and I think it was perfectly appropriate to do that. It was the right thing to do, and I think the counts under the Espionage Act—that he willfully retained those documents—are solid counts.
He continued:"...I mean, it's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning...This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt, is ridiculous...Yes, his adversaries have pursued him with phony claims, and I've been at his side defending against them when he is a victim. But this is much different. He's not a victim here. He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents.
