Former Attorney General William Barr appeared to defend the Department of Justice’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

“People say this was unprecedented, well, it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club, okay?” Barr said on Fox News.

A document unsealed showed that FBI agents found four dozen empty document folders marked “CLASSIFIED” during their search of Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, resort residence.

Barr publicly split with Trump after President Joe Biden won the 2020 election by undermining Trump’s false claims that the race was rigged through widespread fraud.
