Former President Donald Trump’s defense team appears to be preparing a legal defense to the 37 counts of federal charges against him on two main fronts: that the underlying offense of possessing classified documents isn’t criminal, and that the Justice Department acted unethically in its pursuit of the case.
“[Trump] knows that the whole process, starting with the archivists, was a corrupt and politicized one,” Trusty said in an interview with CNN.In another interview on ABC, Trusty accused the Biden administration of seeking to turn a “regular dispute about documents in a former president’s home” into an excuse to entrap Trump on obstruction and false statement charges, both of which he is facing.
In the recorded conversation from July 2021, Trump acknowledged that “as president, I could have declassified it” and that “now, I can’t.” As secretary of state, she had no authority to declassify the emails in her house; instead, her team successfully argued she did not know the sensitive information on her server was classified at the time.
Trusty leveled a particularly pointed accusation at the Justice Department in his public appearances this week.
