Reacting to the newly revealed audio tape of Donald Trump reportedly bragging about sharing sensitive government documents after he was out of office, a former prosecutor suggested it is just another "smoking gun" that can be added to the "arsenal" of smoking guns the Department of Justice has on the former president.
Appearing on MSNBC's "The Alex Witt Show," former prosecutor Charles E. Colman claimed that there is such a preponderance of evidence against the former president -- much of which has come directly from his public comments -- that is may only be a matter of weeks before he is indicted by special counsel Jack Smith.
"Is this recording a smoking gun? Does it provide the nexus to prove Trump's intent, and that he knew all along the limitations of declassifying documents?" host Witt asked.
"Well, I do think it's a smoking gun," Colman replied. "It's important to understand, Donald Trump has already provided Jack Smith and special counsel's office with a smoking arsenal of other different things along the lines of establishing his guilt in criminal liabilities -- especially with the Mar-a-Lago case."
"This case has been very straightforward from the outset, because of the myriad attempts of federal agencies to try and get documents from Donald Trump, letting him know that he should not have them," he added.
