Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Court Appearance Is ‘Self-Pitying Act’ to Get Voters to Cover Legal Bills, Former NY Assistant AG Says | Video

“He needs to show up, look like he’s being the victim and being persecuted,” Tristan Snell tells MSNBC

During an appearance on MSNBC, lawyer and legal commentator Tristan Snell weighed in on Donald Trump’s decision to attend his classified documents hearing, saying it’s merely the former president’s attempt to sway voters into paying off his colossal amount of debt.

“All of these different trials and hearing. That’s why he’s there. He’s there for crowdfunding,” Snell said Thursday.

Trump sat in for the Florida court session, where his legal team argued that he shouldn’t be criminally punished for taking, withholding and failing to return private government documents. While Judge Aileen Cannon cautioned both parties that the hearing could take all day, Snell said there was no “legal reason” for Trump to be there.
