Bill Barr condemns alleged Trump conduct, but says "I don't like the idea of a former president serving time":
Former Attorney General Bill Barr has been highly critical of former President Trump's conduct in the classified documents case, but doesn't believe Trump should go to prison for the alleged crimes.
"I don't like the idea of a former president serving time in prison," Barr told "Face the Nation" on Sunday when asked whether Trump should serve a prison sentence if he is convicted.
But Barr did not excuse the alleged crimes outlined by the Justice Department.
"This is not a circumstance where he's the victim or this is government overreach," Barr said. "He provoked this whole problem himself. Yes, he's been the victim of unfair witch hunts in the past, but that doesn't obviate the fact that he's also a fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct that leads to situations, calamitous situations, like this, which are very disruptive and hurt any political cause he's associated with."
