In his two-part interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Donald Trump shared his perspective on key events at his Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster properties that prosecutors cited in his indictment. Legal experts say some of his comments could undermine his defense.
Legal experts zeroed in on a section of the Baier interview in which Trump described what he did and thought during the Mar-a-Lago document standoff.
In his interview with Baier, Trump essentially conceded some of the facts in the indictment while discussing his rationale for his actions::"I want to go through the boxes and get all my personal things out. I don’t want to hand that over to NARA yet. And I was very busy, as you’ve sort of seen.":"But according to the indictment, you then tell this aide to move to other locations after telling your lawyers to say you’ve fully complied with the subpoena when you hadn’t.
As with the Mar-a-Lago documents example, Trump’s discussion with Baier about the Bedminster meeting places the former president at the scene of an event crucial to the indictment and allows prosecutors to argue that the indictment overall paints an accurate picture. "All of these comments are fair game and can be used at trial," said Joan Meyer, a former prosecutor and partner at the law firm Thompson Hine LLP.Coffey, the former South Florida prosecutor, said he didn’t see any of Trump’s comments as"fatal" to his defense.
