Pleading ignorance may not be a valid defense for former President Donald Trump if he winds up criminally charged under the Espionage Act or for obstructing justice following a weekend rally in Mesa, Arizona, according to former Justice Department official and FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann.
The federal government's investigation into the 45th president’s handling of White House records is appearing more cut-and-dry after Trump took the stage over the weekend and admitted he was aware of the records seized by investigators when they raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in August, according to Weissmann.
