CNN anchor Dana Bash couldn’t help but chuckle on Sunday morning when former President Donald Trump’s lawyer asserted that there was a “peaceful transfer of power” after the 2020 election.
“But you can’t break the law, which is what this indictment alleges,” Bash shot back. “It alleges that he caused actions.”
Bash went on to highlight examples of Trump requesting other state legislatures and officials to interfere with certifying their votes, leading Lauro to claim that “asking is speech” and “not an action.” “No, asking is aspirational,” Lauro responded. “Asking is not action. It’s core free speech. The press should be defending free speech in this case.”host grilled Lauro on Trump’s attempt to get Pence to “pause” the vote count, noting that thethat this was only presented to the former veep after Pence told Trump he wouldn’t fully stop the certification of Biden’s victory.
