Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner likened Trump's reported behavior in the classified document case to movie bank robbers planning their getaway.
"What Donald Trump and his criminal associates did at Mar-a-Lago is no different from what those bank robbers in those movies we've all seen did," Kirschner said."A trial run, a dress rehearsal, because they wanted to succeed in the crime they were intending, they were planning, they were premeditating. And that it is why the government, through the prosecutor, is asking you to vote guilty, simply to hold Donald Trump accountable for the crime he committed.
Despite mounting evidence, Trump has maintained his innocence in the documents case, as he has in all of the legal battles he is facing. He has further claimed that he had the right to possess the documents at Mar-a-Lago because he had declassified them before leaving the White House. Former President Donald Trump is seen during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago. Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said on Saturday that recent reports show that Trump acted with the intent to commit a crime in the Mar-a-Lago document case.
