'Kise is so bad at this': Trump lawyer roasted for saying classified docs should be 'open'

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Chris Kise claimed Monday his client really just wants the evidence in his Mar-a-Lago case to be "open" — despite the fact that much of that evidence is classified information.

Kise appeared on Fox News to attack special counsel Jack Smith over his handling of the federal classified documents case unfolding in Florida's federal court.

"I think what we've learned fundamentally, is that the special counsel wants to keep everything secret, and that President Trump wants everything open," said Kise. "This is probably one of the most consequential trials to come before the American people, and the American people deserve to know everything that's going on, they deserve to know every aspect of the case, and we have fought and will continue to fight to make that happen."

Smith has clashed with both Trump's defense team and Judge Aileen Cannon over how much material to turn over to the defense and in what context.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges linked to violation of the Espionage Act by storing classified documents in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom, ballroom and shower, among other places.

Commenters on social media slammed Kise for his remarks.

"It’s a classified documents case," replied @MGsquared. "That makes no sense."

"Make you wonder if they understand what the word classified means," added @TheRealCoinmon.

"He wants to keep everything open about as much as he wanted to release his tax returns," quipped Andrew McCormack.

"Oh yeah, Trump has been fully transparent with the American people," said the account @ConservBlue2020, who identifies as a former Republican.

"Gee Kise," replied X user Barbara Cooper. "I wonder why special counsel wants to keep classified documents secret."

Kise is so bad at this," added @Buhbee3.
