Donald Trump reportedly criticized Bill Barr, a former attorney general, for not bringing charges against the Bidens and other people he considered to be on his side.
The former president remembered his controversial 2019 phone discussion with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while appearing on Newsmax’s The Balance on Wednesday.
“But when you look at that phone call, that original phone call with Ukraine, I was so right about that. And I said, ‘What’s going on with Hunter Biden? Turns out he worked for Burisma, took in all of this tremendous amounts of money.’ And then the laptop from Hell was discovered.” Trump said to Eric Bolling.
“And you know, a lot of lot of people, the first thing, they said is, ‘Wow, Trump got impeached for nothing. He was right. Actually, he got impeached, and it was 100% right,’” he continued.
“But you need people with courage. You know, Bill Barr was a coward. He was afraid to do things. He was afraid he was going to be impeached, and I was very rough on him. I will say I said, “You have to do something, you know? You’re an American. You have to do something, Bill.” he added.
“And he just was a coward. He was afraid to do anything. We need people of stature. We need people that are brave. We need people that are patriots. We don’t need cowards because we’re fighting a radical left fringe in this country. And I say it. You know, we have dangers from within and from without. But the dangers from within are more dangerous because you know, the dangers from without outside – China, Russia, etc., I can handle them. But these maniacs, these lunatics that we have in this country that go from one scam to another.” he concluded.
Trump had previously demanded that Ukraine launch an inquiry into Hunter Biden’s time serving on the board of Burisma, a national energy business, before the United States would provide help to the nation.
His father Joe Biden was seeking the Democratic presidential candidacy at the time.
Trump was ultimately impeached by the House of Representatives due to his abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate subsequently found him innocent.
Trump is now the subject of three separate indictments. He asserts that the prosecutions are motivated by politics.
