One of former President Donald Trump’s many, many lawyers attempted to label President Joe Biden’s classified documents fiasco as a case of obstruction—in a defense of his client, who is actually under investigation for obstruction of justice.
as a case of obstruction—in a defense of his client, who is actually under investigation for obstruction of justice.on Sunday, attorney James Trusty blasted host Chuck Todd for touting the “Democratic narrative” that Trump had not complied with a subpoena to overturn, prompting an FBI raid.
