BillBarr:‘It’s becomingincreasingly morelikely’Trumpis indicted New York Post— Former Attorney General Bill Barr says he thinks the federal government has enough evidence to indict former President Donald Trump. In an interview with PBS that aired on Friday, Barr told “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover that the Justice Department “probably have the evidence” to “legitimately” charge the 76-year-old former president with a crime related to sensitive presidential documents that he allegedly stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House. “If the Department of Justice can show that these were indeed very sensitive documents, which I think they probably were, and also show that the president consciously was involved in misleading the department, deceiving the government, and playing games after he had received the subpoena for the documents, those are serious charges,” Barr said.
By John Solomon The Arizona attorney general’s office has opened an inquiry into Maricopa County’s handling of the mid-term elections, demanding a full report of wellpublicized irregularities and warning there is evidence of “statutory violations.” The letter from Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s election integrity unit marks a major escalation in the dispute over how voters were treated on Election Day in the state’s largest county, where scores of ballot tabulators had problems because of printing problems. The problems have delayed the declaration of a winner in the razor-thin state attorney general’s race and led GOP gubernatorial candidate KariLake to question as premature the media’s declaration that her opponent,
Wright demanded the evidence be turned over prior to the county sending its final canvas fir certification of the vote, which is due by Nov. 28. “These complaints go beyond pure speculation, but include first-hand witness accounts that raise concerns regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law,” she wrote. “Furthermore, statements made by both Chairman Gates and Recorder Richer, along with information Maricopa County released through official modes of communica-

"It'd be nice if the FBI and the Justice Department just stayed out of" elections, Rep. Jim Jordan says.
By John Solomon The incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday formally accused the FBI of meddling in the last four elections to the detriment of Republicans, citing the Russia collusion probe, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and the raid on Donald Trump's home . "When is the FBI gonna quit interfering with elections?" Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, asked a news conference laying out the GOP's investigative priorities next year. "2016, they spied on President Trump's campaign. 2018, it was the Mueller investigation. 2020, they suppressed information about the Hunter Biden story. 2022, they raided the President's home 91 days before an election. "Maybe it'd be nice if the FBI and the Justice Department just stayed out of it and let we the people decide who we think should represent us, who we think should lead us," he added. "That’s supposed to be how America works.
"So this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee, the political nature of the Justice Department and the linkage now to what was happening with the Hunter Biden story, again just 15 days before we had a presidential election." The FBI has repeatedly denied that politics has played a role in any of the Trump investigations but acknowledged significant failures in many of them, including the inappropriate expression of political bias by supervisors, the over-collection of evidence and the inclusion of false or unverified information in search warrants. Jordan appeared with Rep. James Comer, RKy., the next chairman of the House Oversight Committee, as the two laid out the top priorities for investigation and oversight in the House when Republicans take over in January. Both made clear an early focus would be on the Biden family's international business dealings and how much the president participated in and benefitted from them."
