Bill Barr Blasts Letitia James’ Civil Lawsuit Against The Trump Family: ‘It’s A Political Hit Job’

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr slammed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil lawsuit against the Trump family on Wednesday, saying that it was hard for him “not to conclude it’s a political hit job.”

The lawsuit targets the former president, his business, and many associates. In addition to the former president, the lawsuit targets Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Allen Weisselberg, Jeffrey McConney, The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, The Trump Organization, Inc., and others.

The lawsuit seeks to punish the targets with a $250 million penalty and a ban on operating any businesses in New York. James also seeks to ban Trump and the Trump Organization from purchasing any real estate in New York for the next five years.
