Fox News contributor says one strategy could politically and legally help the defense, even if there may be 'personal resistance' from Trump in the NYC case.
Fox News contributor and GWU Law professor Jonathan Turley explained on 'Fox & Friends' Friday the legal card Trump's defense team could use to their advantage in the hush-money case, even though it may be met with 'personal resistance' from the former president.
But many times, this works in favor of the defense. For Trump, there could be personal resistance to even suggesting a possible misdemeanor conviction, but politically and legally, it would be a very significant advantage for him. Trump's hush-money trial, which is scheduled to start on Monday, is the first of his four criminal indictments slated to go to trial and would be the first criminal trial ever of a former president.
