ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos had a brief meltdown Friday after former Trump attorney Jim Trusty pointed out President Joe Biden also had classified documents in his possession.
Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday night in a Truth Social post that he has been indicted for allegedly mishandling more than 300 classified documents. Trump said his attorneys were informed of the indictment and that he has been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami at 3 p.m. on June 13. The indictment allegedly includes at least seven counts, including conspiracy to a scheme to conceal, willful retention of national defense information and false statements and representations, according to ABC News.
Stephanopoulos asked Trusty if he believes in the principle that “no person is above the law” before asking whether he agrees Trump should be charged.
“No person is below the law, that’s really the issue here,” Trusty said. “You’ve got these investigations in Delaware that are 1,000 times more serious by a sitting president who has authorized his DOJ [Department of Justice] to try to sink the candidacy of his prime opposition while that guy has unsecured documents that he stole out of a skiff dozens of years ago. Look, we’re not talking –”
“What are you talking about?” Stephanopoulos said. “What are you talking about? That is a ridiculous statement!”
