Trump Lawyer Will Scharf: There’s No Evidence Trump Did Anything Illegal

‘We view this is an open and shut case’

EXCERPT:

SCHARF: “I think Jim Comey has an axe to grind. I think his long history with President Trump is coloring his legal judgment here. There’s absolutely no evidence that the underlying business records fraud offences that have been charged here, there’s no evidence at all that’s been introduced in the trial record tending to show that those actually occurred. There’s absolutely no evidence that President Trump did anything illegal here. So I think Jim Comey is letting his biases show. I think that’s deeply unfortunate, but we view this as an open and shut case. The prosecution has abjectly failed to meet its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt the charges in the indictment.”
