Former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann called Donald Trump's attorney's appearance on Fox News after the former president's arraignment Thursday a "rookie mistake" after he appeared to make an "admission" about the case.
Just hours before attorney John Lauro's appearances on Fox News and Newsmax, Trump was arrested and arraigned in a federal court in Washington D.C., in connection to his latest indictment for allegedly conspiring to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden following the 2020 election. The former president was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four felony counts Thursday.
