WATCH: Former AG Barr Sides With Trump, Slams ‘Abomination’ Indictment: ‘Makes Us Look Like A Banana Republic’

During an interview on Fox Business on Friday, former Attorney General Bill Barr slammed far-left District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) indictment of 45th President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump as an “abomination” that makes our country “look like a banana republic.”

“Based on the news reports, if they’re accurate, this is an abomination,” Barr said.

“It’s the epitome of the abuse of prosecutorial power to bring a case that would not be brought against anyone else. They are going after the man, not a crime. And the legal theory, frankly, is pathetically weak,” he added.

“The case is held together [by] paper clips and rubber bands. It’s a lousy case, and it’s a shame. It’s a shameful episode in our history where this local prosecutor is trying to affect the political process by bringing this case,” he continued.

“This is the epitome of the abuse of the prosecutorial power to preempt political decisions and sow discord in the political process. And I think it’s going you know, we’re going to rue the day we crossed this Rubicon. There’ll be more and more of this and you know, just doesn’t end well. It doesn’t end well,” he said.

“It makes us look like a banana republic. And it should,” Barr added.

“Now this is New York State and New York State has been acting like a banana republic. They had that civil lawsuit against Trump and his children. That civil lawsuit brought by the state attorney general was a political hit job as well,” Barr continued.

“This ratchets that up because it’s a criminal case. And, you know, these cases together to me, mean the breakdown of the rule of law in New York State,” he said.

Bragg, who has been exposed as being funded by a group supported by far-left billionaire George Soros, was able to get a Manhattan grand jury to vote to indict  Trump.

OBAMA, HILLARY SETTLED NEARLY $500,000 IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE FINES AND NEVER FACED AN INDICTMENT, PROVING TRUMP INVESTIGATION A SHAM

Adult film “star” Stormy Daniels was ordered to pay Trump $300,000 after losing a defamation case against him. However, on Thursday, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict President Trump over a $130,000 payment to Daniels made by his former lawyer and now convicted liar, Michael Cohen.

This makes Trump the first American president to ever face criminal charges.

On Tuesday, Trump is expected to be fingerprinted and have a mug shot taken in New York. After the booking is complete, Trump will appear before a judge for his arraignment where he will face 30 currently unknown charges due to Bragg’s sealed indictment.

Then, after flying back from New York to Palm Beach, Florida, Trump is set to deliver remarks at his Mar-A-Lago club.

The Color of Change PAC, the “nation’s largest online racial justice organization”, which was given $1 million in May 2021 from Soros, gave $1 million to Bragg, but later pulled back half of their donation.

In a statement responding to the indictment, Trump wrote, “From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.”
