How Aussie billionaire will influence Trump's classified documents trial: legal analyst
Legal analysts Bradley Moss and Joyce Vance joined Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to talk about both the plea deals in Georgia and Anthony Pratt, the Australian billionaire to whom Donald Trump was leaking national secrets.
Speaking to "The Last Word," with substitute host Jonathan Capehart, Moss explained that the recording was exposed by "60 Minutes Australia." According to Moss, he doesn't expect special counsel Jack Smith to go for another indictment of Trump for leaking the documents to Pratt.
"But I do see it in terms of showing the pattern of how Donald Trump was reckless, not only while in office, we knew what he did what he was in office, but he had that legal discretion to play games with less information," Moss explained. "But once he left office, what he kept doing to information that he kept recklessly giving to people who were not authorized to have it, to go along with the fact that he still had possession of all of these classified records and he wasn't supposed to have. And he was obstructing efforts by the FBI and NORAD to recover them. Let's look at the factual background."
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
Trump said that he never shared any secrets about nuclear submarines with the "red-haired weirdo."
Amid a discussion about the plea deal lawyer Sidney Powell took in Fulton County, Georgia, Swalwell called Trump's claim she wasn't his lawyer a bad move.
"If Donald Trump is going to disabuse the notion that he never received legal advice from Sidney Powell, then there is no claim that there is attorney-client privilege, and then she can completely give off the goods on Donald Trump," the congressman explained.
