Barr told Margaret Hoover, host of “Firing Line,” in an interview that the Justice Department “probably have the evidence” to “legitimately” charge Trump with a crime based on alleged documents the former President retained after his term ended and he left the White House.

In comments from the interview posted by the National Review, Barr said if Trump is the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, it would be a “tragedy.”
Barr was asked whether he believes Trump is putting in his bid to run for office to “insulate himself” from “unprecedented federal, state, and congressional investigations.” Barr responded, “I think that could be part of the reason. But I think he, you know, he has a monumental ego, and he doesn’t want to go down in history as a loser. And he also would like to get revenge on the people that he feels didn’t give him his due.”
