The conservative lawyer said Friday that the ex-president “had no business bringing top secret” information from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Conservative lawyer George Conway said Friday that former President Donald Trump could face legal problems after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on Monday to retrieve classified documents that the ex-president allegedly took with him when he left the White House last year.
During his interview, CNN anchor Erin Burnett asked the lawyer whether or not he thinks Trump is in trouble after the raid, in which Conway responded: “Yeah, I think he’s in very substantial legal jeopardy.”
“If anybody else had done this, as I said last night on your show, if a national security adviser had done this, if an assistant to the president had done this, if I had done this or you had done this, we’d probably be already charged,” he added.
Meanwhile, sources told Newsweek that the raid was mainly based on tips received from an informer, who identified the type of highly classified documents that were still in Trump’s possession and where they were located.
