Cobb told Burnett that Smith would not have “a lot of legal hurdles” in proving his case against the politician.
“All they really have to do is show that Trump moved these documents at various times when the Department of Justice demanded or produced them,” he said.
“That he filed a false statement with the Department of Justice, had his lawyers file a false statement with the Department of Justice, an affidavit to the effect that he did not exist, which was torn apart by documents that they later discovered after the search , and the many other misrepresentations he and others have made on his behalf regarding his possession of classified documents.”
