Lanny Davis: ‘There Is No Dispute That Donald Trump Committed a Crime’

‘There’s no ambiguity, Donald Trump violated criminal law’

EXCERPT:

DAVIS: "Well, let’s clear up for some reason an ambiguity, the smoke that Rudy Giuliani and Trump and the people around him are blowing about what happened yesterday. Very clearly there is no dispute that Donald Trump committed a crime, no dispute because his own lawyers said to the Special Counsel in a letter that he directed, that’s the word they used, Michael Cohen to do these payments. He didn’t want to do them because he was covering up his involvement in the payoff in the hush money. But the issue isn’t in dispute. I’ve been asked, well, how do we believe someone has pled guilty to other crimes? My answer is you don’t have to. His own lawyers are — including Rudy Giuliani — are the evidence, the witnesses, against Trump when he lied on Air Force One. Giuliani contradicted him and said, 'Oh no, he knew about it.' And then his own lawyers wrote a letter to the Special Counsel and used the word 'directed.' Now that’s as good of evidence as you can have when your own lawyers are testifying against you. So there’s no ambiguity."
