'There are certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be,' Timothy Parlatore said.
“There are certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be,” Timothy Parlatore said.
“The real reason is because there are certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be,” he said to CNN’s Paula Reid on Saturday. “There is one individual who works for him, Boris Epshteyn, who had really done everything he could to try to block us, to prevent us from doing what we could to defend the president.”
“In my opinion, he was not very honest with us or the client on certain things,” Parlatore said of Epshteyn. That search has led not only to issues involving document retention by other political leaders, including President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence, but also sparked questions as to what, if anything, a former president can lawfully do in terms of retaining classified material.
