Asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday whether the Biden administration’s actions have been worse than his former boss’ attempts to disrupt the transfer of power following the 2020 election, Barr downplayed Trump’s efforts, responding, “Did he succeed?”
Former attorney general William Barr effectively endorsed Donald Trump, despite having previously criticized Trump’s conduct while in office and comparing him to a “defiant, 9-year-old kid,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Barr: “I’ve said all along, given two bad choices, I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country, and in my mind, that’s — I will vote the Republican ticket.”
