Kevin O’Brien pointed out that Trump is still entitled to a “vigorous defense” in and out of court and his lawyer is well within his rights to make arguments that offer Trump’s side to the issues raised in what is a “very unusual indictment.”
None of his lawyer’s statements would be out of place in a courtroom, where the advocate usually “must milk every possible inference to support reasonable doubt,” O’Brien said.
He added that since the prosecution has filed a massive indictment generating “unprecedented publicity,” Lauro and Trump’s other lawyers should be able to respond to its arguments in any way they plausibly can.
