Barr: Trump should not testify in hush money case because ‘he lacks all self control’ – By Steohen Neukam (The Hill) / April 2 2023
Former Attorney General Bill Barr said former President Trump should not testify in the criminal case against him in New York because “he lacks all self control.”
“Generally, I think it’s a bad idea to go on the stand and I think it’s a particularly bad idea for Trump because he lacks all self control,” Barr said on “Fox News Sunday.” “It’d be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion.”
Barr’s comments come after Trump was indicted last week in the Manhattan investigation into alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump has framed the investigation against him as a political persecution and his lawyers have vowed to fight the impending charges against him.
