It's looking like Trump got ratted out by his own lawyer: Former Watergate attorney

Former Watergate attorney Nick Akerman said on Thursday that it's looking increasingly likely that former President Donald Trump got ratted out by his own lawyer in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Appearing on CNN, Akerman broke down the new information revealed in the less-redacted version of the search warrant that was unsealed this week and he said that there was no way that the FBI could have gotten all this information to justify the search without an inside source.

Akerman said he thinks there's a good case that inside source is Trump attorney Evan Corcoran.

"What this says to me is they have a witness who spelled it out -- maybe more than one witness, I believe it's probably Corcoran," he said. "Because he figured out [Trump and his allies] were playing him and his law license was on the line. And it's likely he went to the FBI afterwards and said, 'This is what happened, you guys have been hoodwinked.'"

Akerman then elaborated about how this would play out in upcoming legal proceedings.

"I think what we're seeing is a preview of what we'll see at the trial itself where you have Corcoran and others testify, and these videotapes are going to be evidence to corroborate exactly what they say on the witness stand," he speculated.
