John Lauro, an attorney representing former President Donald Trump in the Smith special counsel probe, sounded off on 'America Reports' on Friday.
by ensnaring Trump in proceedings that are"outrageous and incredibly unfair to the American people, who want to hear these candidates… talk about the issues."
After former Connecticut prosecutor John Durham released his report on the origins of Comey's investigation,the former G-man must be held accountable for his"long-running and treasonous charade." "[T]hey started with 'Plan B' back in 2016. We're now up to ‘Plan X’," Lauro said Friday."The plan is now to use the criminal justice process to intimidate President Trump, to intimidate his supporters, to go after them. And that has got to stop.
Lauro rejected that assertion, saying Garland must ultimately sign off on any of Smith's indictments and that in order for him to remain in office under Biden, he must prosecute the Delawarean's chief opponent. "If I appear in court, I'm going to be representing not only the president of the United States, but the sovereign citizens of this country who deserve to hear the truth," he said.Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
