Bill Barr Calls Trump’s Request a ‘Crock of Shit’

Former Attorney General William Barr dismissed former President Donald Trump’s call for an independent review of materials seized from his Florida home — and said an inventory of items recovered in the search last month seemed to support the Justice Department’s claim that it was needed to safeguard national security, the New York Times reports.

Said Barr: “It seems to me they were driven by concern about highly sensitive information being strewn all over a country club, and it was taking them almost two years to get it back.”

He added about Trump’s request for an independent review of the material: “I think it’s a crock of shit. I don’t think a special master is called for.”
