Sally Yates, a former acting attorney general early in Donald Trump’s administration, said voters “have a right” to hear the special counsel’s evidence against the former president before they head to the ballot box in 2024.
“The people of this country have a right to hear that evidence and to know the truth before they cast their vote and to do everything reasonably possible to be able to accomplish that,” Yates, who also served as deputy attorney general in the Obama administration, told CNN’s David Axelrod on “The Axe Files” podcast released Thursday.
And that’s really what distinguishes it from any kind of good faith, accidental retention of a classified document,” she said. Yates, in her conversation with Axelrod, weighed in on a central premise of the special counsel’s January 6-related case that Trump knew the election claims he was making were false after being told by several close aides that he had lost.
