Former President Donald Trump on Sunday branded the 37-count federal indictment he faces as nothing more than a “distraction” from the bribery allegations levied against President Biden - while also taking aim at his own ex-attorney general William Barr for not backing him over the classified documents case.
Trump, 76, in an interview with ally Roger Stone, said he doubted it was a “coincidence” that he was charged for allegedly storing hundreds of classified government files at his Mar-a-Lago estate at the same time as Republicans revealed more details regarding an FBI informant’s accusation that Biden took part in a $5 million bribery scheme involving the Ukrainian company Burisma.
“It’s to cover up a massive crime being revealed by Republicans in the House,” Trump, who denies any wrongdoing, said on the inaugural episode of “The Roger Stone Show” on WABC 770 AM.
“It’s a distraction,” he continued. “The indictment is a disgrace… And it was put out at a time when they found horrible things about the Biden family.”
The former president also described the new charges against him as “unpatriotic.”
He then slammed Barr, who said earlier on Sunday that he believed his former boss was “toast” after reading the indictment.
“The government acted responsibly. It was Donald J. Trump who acted irresponsibly,” Barr said on “Fox News Sunday.” “They’re solid counts. Even if half of this is true he’s toast.”
Trump insisted nothing could be further from the truth, labeling Barr as a “coward who didn’t do his job.”
“He was gutless. He was desperately afraid of being impeached,” Trump claimed about his former loyalist’s exit from the White House.

I hate to say this but Trump while he was President had really bad advisors around him. And Trump listened to them.
I am not sure that if Trump were to become president again that he would see his error.
