Bill Barr: Prosecutors should 'do the right thing' and dismiss Trump cases: 'Respect the people's decision'
Fox News
Former Attorney General Bill Barr says state and federal prosecutors should dismiss the cases against President-elect Trump so the country can move on.
"The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," Barr said. "They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now."

Barr asserted that the legal theories in some of the cases already had been "greatly weakened by a series of court decisions," and that the matters "have now been extensively aired and rejected by the American people."
