Former Attorney General William Barr said Sunday he believes Donald Trump deserves to be prosecuted.
Barr told CBS that his former boss's handling of classified documents was "indefensible."
Barr said he believes that Trump lied to the Department of Justice when he had his lawyers claim that he had returned all classified documents.
"That's not unfair to Trump," Barr said, "because this is not a case where Trump is innocent and being unfairly hounded.
Barr asked, arguing that the classified documents case is "not just an isolated example."
