Newsweek reports:
One of Donald Trump’s lawyers has been accused of confirming allegations that the former president has been cited over in his latest federal indictment during a round of media interviews.
Attorney John Lauro appeared on both Fox News and Newsmax on Thursday, after Trump pleaded not guilty in Washington, D.C. to four charges in relation to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the events which led up to the January 6 attack, to defend the actions of the former president.
“What President Trump said is, ‘Let’s go with option D,'” Lauro said on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle. “Let’s just halt, let’s just pause the voting and allow the state legislatures to take one last look and make a determination as to whether or not the elections were handled fairly. That’s constitutional law. That’s not an issue of criminal activity.”

Trump defense lawyer John Lauro just admitted to Laura Ingraham that Trump urged Pence to call a 10-day recess for state legislatures to reconsider election results. IOW, he just admitted to one of the charges in Jack Smith’s indictment.
Only the best people!
