Legal experts mock Trump lawyers and DOJ lawsuits

Fresno CA

Description

Legal experts and former prosecutors are scrutinizing former President Donald Trump’s legal team as they continue to grapple with the fallout from the unprecedented FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago. “They either seem completely incompetent or overwhelmed,” Renato Mariotti, a longtime former federal prosecutor, told Insider. “That’s part of the reason the former president is struggling to find lawyers: because he demands that they file documents and take positions that have no legal backing." This week’s mockery of Trump’s legal team comes after they filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking the appointment of a special master to screen potentially privileged documents seized during the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid earlier this month. A lawyer familiar with the Trump team’s thought process expressed skepticism that the former president’s lawyers are equipped to handle a case like this, adding that Trump’s primary goal appears to be to wage a public relations war against the Department of Justice.
