A legal expert was stunned by President Donald Trump's latest "jaw-dropping" court loss on Monday.
Adam Klasfeld, editor-in-chief of All Rise News, joined progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on a podcast episode on Monday to discuss an order from a federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia for Trump's DOJ to turn over tapes from the grand jury room to the defense counsel for former FBI Director James Comey. The Trump administration is prosecuting Comey on two counts of obstruction of justice and making false statements to Congress.
In the order, the judge expressed significant concerns that Trump's prosecutors misled grand jury members and may have violated Comey's Fourth Amendment rights.
Klasfeld described the judge's order as "disastrous" for the Trump administration's case.
"The second one is almost even more jaw-dropping," Klasfield said.
Klasfeld read from the order, where the judge admonished interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who is leading Comey's prosecution, for assuring the grand jury that the government "has more evidence" than what they're presenting.
"It's farcical. It's beyond parody. I doubt my cousin Vinnie would have made such a statement before a grand jury," Klasfield said. "I doubt that legally blonde. I mean, Hollywood has not come up with a bigger flub of the law."
