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.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday, attorney James Trusty blasted host Chuck Todd for touting the “Democratic narrative” that Trump had not complied with a subpoena to overturn classified documents housed at Mar-a-Lago, prompting an FBI raid. Trusty claimed the true “set of facts” pointing towards obstruction was in Biden’s case because Biden shouldn’t have had the documents at all.
“You’ve got a vice president that has documents for decades in this Chinese-funded Penn Biden Center, right?” Trusty said. (The Penn Biden Center said it received no Chinese funds.) “You’ve got absolute obstruction there.”
