One of former President Donald Trump’s top White House advisers said that the ex-commander in chief is more terrified by the 37 felony counts related to his alleged mishandling and concealment of White House documents that he pleaded not guilty to on Tuesday than he’s letting on.
“He’s scared s–tless,” former White House chief of staff John Kelly told the Washington Post.
After his arraignment in a Miami federal court on Tuesday, on charges that include willful retention of national defense information and conspiracy to obstruct justice, the 77-year-old former president made an unscheduled stop at a South Florida Cuban restaurant to greet supporters before flying to New Jersey, where he gave a rousing 30-minute address at his Bedminster golf club.
Kelly explained that the public appearances and glad-handing are Trump’s way of coping with the dire legal circumstances he’s found himself in.
Trump faces a maximum of 400 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts and given the maximum sentence for each count, which is unlikely.
