The former attorney general revealed who he might vote for in 2024.

Former Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday that he believes the trial involving former President Donald Trump is an “abomination” and politicized.

When asked by a Fox News anchor about the trial, which started this week in New York City, Mr. Barr said that the case is “obviously political” and an “abomination,” noting that charges were brought years later in the case.

President Trump faces more than 30 counts of falsifying business records for alleged hush-money payments that were made to bury stories during the 2016 election through his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. The former president has pleaded not guilty and denied a number of the claims in the case, including one accusing him of engaging in a mid-2000s affair with an adult actress.

“It’s obviously political, seven years after he pays hush money to try and come up with this case,” Mr. Barr said.

Also in the interview, Mr. Barr said that he would vote for President Trump despite his prior criticism against the former commander-in-chief and former boss.

“The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system, are the excesses of the progressive left. They are perverting the system of justice and that’s where the danger lies. The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left,” he told Fox News.

He also said: “I’ve said all along given two bad choices, I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country and in my mind that’s—I will vote the Republican ticket. I will support the Republican ticket.”

Barring anything unforeseen, President Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee after his only remaining GOP challenger, Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race last month after the Super Tuesday contests.

“I think the real danger to the country, the real danger to democracy, as I say, is the progressive agenda and I’ve said Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion,” said Mr. Barr.
