Jennifer Rodgers dismissed the increasingly bizarre ways in which Donald Trump’s allies have tried defending the former president after the FBI’s search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Rodgers, a former federal prosecutor and CNN legal analyst, joined Inside Politics on Monday — where Abby Phillip asked for her reaction to Congressman Mike Turner’s (R-IN) theorizing that Trump might have needed the classified materials the FBI found in order to write a memoir. Rodgers called the argument “ridiculous,” unpersuasive, and “unhelpful ultimately to the former president.”
