A Trump lawyer, Jesse Binnall, says the new indictment that the Biden administration is pursuing against former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified records won’t hold up against the law.

Jesse Binnall, one of Trump’s lawyers and a partner at Binnall Law Group, told EpochTV’s “Crossroads“ program on June 9 that the former president can’t be charged under the Espionage Act that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is pursuing.
