A Trump impeachment defense lawyer chided the president for tweeting his congratulations to Attorney General William Barr for "taking charge" of the case against his longtime associate Roger Stone.
Attorney Robert Ray, who served on the White House defense team during President Trump's Senate impeachment trial, joined radio show The Cats Roundtable on Sunday and weighed in on Trump's tweet, saying it "complicated things."
"I do think that the attorney general … did send a strong message that when you have sensitive matters like a sentencing before a court where someone’s liberty is at stake, it’s important that the executive branch speak with one voice," he said. "I think that the president’s tweets under the circumstances complicated things and … are better left for a time that is not so sensitive."
