- Bill Barr said Trump shouldn't get avoid trials simply because he's running for president.
- Trump and his defenders have pointed out how proposed trial dates conflict with the 2024 GOP nomination schedule.
- While Barr thinks Trump could be convicted in some cases, he doesn't want Trump to face prison time.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Thursday practically scoffed at former President Donald Trump's argument that it's unfair for him to be in court when he should be campaigning for president.
"To some degree, they might accommodate a few days here and there, but I don't think that should govern the schedule for pursuing these cases," Barr told Fox News host Neil Cavuto.
