Former Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday dismissed claims that Donald Trump’s federal indictment<\/a> is undermined by the Presidential Records Act as “farcical,” telling Fox News the 45th president committed egregious obstruction.<\/p>\n

On “Special Report,” anchor Bret Baier presented Barr with comments from former Reagan Justice Department chief of staff Mark Levin, who argued a president “is” the executive branch and that his presidential powers come from the Constitution, and not “subordinates” within the branch.<\/p>\n

Levin, who worked <\/a>under Attorney General Edwin Meese III and now hosts “Life, Liberty & Levin,” cited the Clinton Socks case of 2010, in which the Obama-appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided against Judicial Watch \u2013 which had asked to listen to sensitive tape recordings Clinton kept in his sock drawer.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I think the position is being taken that this is really just a document dispute over custody of documents and the president has good arguments as to why he should have kept them — I think the arguments are farcical, and will be shown as such,” Barr said on “Special Report.”<\/p>\n

“But I also think, more importantly, they’re a sidelight and they’re distracting from the real issue,” said Barr, who also served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush.<\/p>\n

Barr said Trump<\/a> is being prosecuted moreso for obstruction and is more under fire for what he did after receiving a federal subpoena for documents.<\/p>\n

If Trump believed he had a good argument for why the documents should remain at Mar-a-Lago, he should have filed a motion to quash the subpoena, Barr said.<\/p>\n

“He could have given the documents to the government and then sued to bring them back and made his legal arguments as to why they’re really his,” he contended.He<\/p>\n

“But he didn’t do that. What did he do? He engaged in an outrageous act of obstruction and deception that obstructed that subpoena. And that is wrong. That’s a violation of law. That’s a serious problem for him.”<\/p>\n

Barr said the indictment alleged Trump “hid” documents from his attorneys and then asked his counsel to search for what remained.<\/p>\n

For his part, Trump, has called Barr “gutless,” and recently told his longtime friend Roger Stone during an interview that Barr failed at the DOJ.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s a coward who didn’t do his job. He was desperately afraid of being impeached,” Trump told Stone, a longtime Republican consultant with experience going back to elections involving then-Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and President Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n

“We had unbelievable people, as you know, in the administration. But you also had some that we got wrong. And Bill Barr was a mistake,” Trump claimed.<\/p>\n

Barr essentially laughed off Trump’s claims he is cowardly, riffing, “He said I was a gutless lowlife, and clearly I have a gut. So that will shed light on his veracity there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
