Episode notes
Trump's Potential Defense Strategy
- Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion requesting Judge Chutkan order Trump to disclose if he will use an “advice of counsel” defense.
- This is because such a defense waives attorney-client privilege, impacting 25 witnesses who've withheld information.
Formal Declaration of Defense
- Trump should formally declare his defense to the judge by December 18th, 2023.
- This will allow ample time for disclosure and prevent trial disruptions.
Witness Testimony and Privilege
- At least 25 witnesses, including co-conspirators and family members, have withheld information citing attorney-client privilege.
- Trump's repeated public statements about using an advice of counsel defense necessitate pre-trial clarification.
