Former U.S. Attorney General (AG) Bill Barr, who served in the first administration of President-elect Donald Trump, is calling on his successor to immediately dismiss all criminal charges against the incoming 47th president of the United States. His statements were directed against his successor, incumbent U.S. AG Merrick Garland, as well as to District Attorneys Alvin Bragg of New York and Fani Willis of Georgia, noting that the American electorate "have rendered their verdict." "The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," said Barr during an interview with Fox News. "They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country, and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people's decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now."

Trump still facing criminal trials in New York and Georgia

Trump earlier this year was convicted of 34 felony charges in New York related to alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He is also still facing indictments in three other trials, including one case in Georgia over allegations that he blocked the peaceful transfer of power following his official defeat in the 2020 election. He also faced federal counts for allegedly retaining classified documents at his Florida home in Mar-a-Lago, but this case was indefinitely postponed by the judge until after the election. Trump is set to face sentencing in the New York case later this month, but he is already calling for this case to be tossed out after the Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that former presidents retain broad immunity even after leaving office for any acts they take that are considered within their core constitutional authority. Barr noted that the legal theories in some of the cases presented against Trump have already been "greatly weakened by a series of court decisions," and that the matters "have now been extensively aired and rejected by the American people." He added that local prosecutors and judges need to move on from the "spectacle" of attempting to prosecute a president-elect. "Further maneuvering on these cases in the weeks ahead would serve no legitimate purpose and only distract the country and the incoming administration from the task at hand," he said. "The public interest now demands that the country unite and focus on the challenges we face at home and abroad." "Attorney General Garland and all the state prosecutors should do the right thing and help the country move forward by dismissing the cases," Barr added. Regarding the New York criminal case, Barr noted that the case is "rife with legal abuse and error." "If it were continued to be litigated it would ultimately be overturned, but we shouldn't put up with that kind of distraction," he said. "And I think the right thing to do would be for prosecutors to dismiss the case."
