Judge gives Trump a 'reprimand for a cover-up' as he continues to flout the law: legal expert

Raw Story  

In an op-ed for MSNBC, Loyola University law professor Jessica Levinson harkened back to the adage that it isn't the crime that gets someone in trouble legally -- it's typically the cover-up. In this case, that's exactly what she thinks former President Donald Trump is doing in New York as he fights to hold back documents subpoenaed by Attorney General Letitia James. A member of the New York attorney general’s office said Trump did not hand over 'even a single responsive document' in response to a subpoena in December." "Trump’s recalcitrance with respect to investigations serves dual purposes and unmasks him for who he is, someone with little to no regard for the rule of law," she said.
