Bill Barr Tells Fox News Donald Trump Should Not Testify Because ‘He Lacks All Self Control’

Former Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News Sunday that Donald Trump should not take the stand in the hush money case against him in New York. “Generally, I think it’s a bad idea to go on the stand,” Barr told host Shannon Bream. “And I think it’s a particularly bad idea for Trump because he lacks all self control.”

Barr said that the former president’s tendency to go off script could prove highly risky in the confines of a criminal case. “It’d be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion.”
