Timothy Parlatore, a former criminal defense attorney for Trump, recently spoke with Laura Ingraham on the investigation into the alleged mishandling of classified documents by the former president. Parlatore argued that there are fundamental flaws in the case which could lead to it being thrown out entirely.

The Department of Justice appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith to bring charges against Trump, who pled “not guilty” in federal court.

The 37 counts brought against him include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding and concealing documents or records, and false statements and representations.

If found guilty on all counts, he could face decades in prison – an alarming prospect for a man who is President Joe Biden’s chief rival in next year’s presidential election.

Trump has since revealed new information regarding a secret document discussed on an audio recording at the center of this federal government indictment earlier this month; CNN reported that prosecutors had obtained an audio recording from last summer which showed Trump acknowledging he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran – evidence which could be used against him if this case goes to trial.

Despite these serious allegations, Parlatore believes there are several issues with the grand jury process as well as breaches of attorney-client privilege which should disqualify Smith from prosecuting this case altogether.

He said that Trump’s attorneys should “attack the conduct” of the entire investigation “and show through death by a thousand cuts why this entire investigation is irreparably tainted by government misconduct.”

It would seem that even if Biden wants to win his re-election bid next year without any interference from his chief rival, he will have trouble doing so given how much time and effort has been put into bringing down Donald Trump over what many consider unfounded allegations.

In a Fox News interview with Bret Baier on Monday, Trump claimed he never showed anyone the classified U.S. military plan referred to in the audio recording to anyone.

“There was no document,” Trump emphasized.

“That was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things,” he continued. “And it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. I didn’t have a document, per se. There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories, and articles,”.
