Former Attorney General William Barr said Monday he would vote for Donald Trump if he is the 2024 Republican presidential nominee despite harshly criticizing him in his upcoming memoir.
Barr, appearing on NBC’s Today, said he will vote for the Republican nominee in 2024, even if it is Trump, even though admitting the former president “went off the rails” following his 2020 election loss.
“I certainly have made it clear I don’t think [Trump] should be our nominee, and I’m going to support somebody else for the nomination,” Barr said in the interview.
But, he added, “because I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party, it’s inconceivable to me that I wouldn’t vote for the Republican nominee.”
The second part of this interview will air on Special Report, Fox News today.
Barr’s memoir on his service as attorney general under two presidents, entitled One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, is set to be released Tuesday.
Once considered a Trump loyalist, Barr lost that role after he criticized the violence of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots staged by Trump supporters seeking to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, calling it “outrageous and despicable.”
Barr has also refuted Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
In his memoir, the former attorney general recounts clashing with Trump over the White House’s false claims of widespread fraud, leading to his December 2020 resignation in which he says he disputed those claims to the president’s face.
“I told him that what he was saying was B.S. and that there was no basis for it,” Barr recounted in Monday’s interview, also admitting that he “surprised” by Trump’s incitement of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“After the election, he went off the rails,” Barr said. “He wouldn’t listen to anybody except a little coterie of sycophants who were telling him what he wanted to hear.”
Last week, Barr told NBC News he believes Trump was responsible “in a broad sense” for the events of Jan. 6.
“I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress, and I think that that was wrong,” Barr said.

The train that went off the rails is still barreling full speed ahead down a steep embankment.
Barr—just another deer in the headlights.
Trump screwed up MAJORY appointing this Hippo as his AG.. HE WAS Utterly useless..
William Barr, the AG who recommended deep state Christopher Wray, as FBI Director, Barr who never prosecuted the politicians / high powered people, who through Jeffrey Epstein, had sex with underage girls. No voter fraud, William Barr? Mail in ballots with no ID proof, the Dominion voting machines. Tucker, last night, had a Wisconsin Assemblyman on and he stated that people in nursing homes who could no longer vote because of severe dementia, “voted” at the rate of 100% and guess who was behind this fraud? Good old Mark Zuckerberg and his henchmen working places like nursing homes. Guess who these people in nursing homes, who could no longer vote, because of dementia, “voted” for? It wasn’t Trump!
SO where the hell are the lawsuits for VOTER FRAUD?!?!??!?!?!?!
William Barr is Flip-Flopping more than all the Flip-Flops on the main beach boardwalk on a hot summer day!
Barr is clearly a part of the deep state. He claims to be a conservative but he refused to prosecute, as he should have his Attorney General, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Carvell and Hillary Clinton but instead gave them a pass even though they were tons of evidence proving their guilt of all the treasonous activities that they committed. He also refused to even consider let alone investigate voter they took place during the 2020 presidential election. When states refused to release the information the Attorney General should have stepped in but he refused to do that. So clearly he was part of it. The courts have demanded to the states disclose the 2020 presidential voter information and it’s no surprise that the corruption is being exposed. Barr attacked President Trump every chance he got even with President Trump was still in office while the same time bar gave lawbreakers a pass. He’s now written a book again in which he’s attacking President Trump even giving interviews saying that President Trump wouldn’t listen to advice of his advisers but saying that if Trump ran again he would certainly vote for him. No one believes that. It’s a sure about the bar only said that because he didn’t want to lose Trump supporters possibly purchasing his book. Barr Is a member of the deep state who betrayed not only his oath of office but the United States in the American people with no conscience at all. The only one he has disgraced is himself
HE certainly is part and parcel of the swamp.
mr.barr is deep state!!
