Donald Trump has a penchant for engaging in reckless and self-destructive behavior" and is facing a serious threat of a federal indictment over his handling of classified documents and his supporters' deadly January 6 attack on the US capitol, his former attorney general William Barr said on Sunday.

He's dug himself a hole on the documents and also on the January 6 stuff," Barr said of the former president during an interview on ABC's This Week. That was reckless behavior that was destined to end up being investigated. So it doesn't surprise me that he has all these legal problems."
