Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Sunday said Donald Trump shouldn’t testify in the criminal case against him “because he lacks all self-control” — while newly-minted Republican presidential hopeful Asa Hutchinson called on him to drop out of the 2024 race over the indictment.
Barr, who served as AG in the Trump administration, was asked by Fox News’ Shannon Bream whether lawyers for the 76-year-old former president should allow him to take the stand in his defense.
“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. And it would be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion,” Barr said on “Fox News Sunday.”
