Speaking with O'Hearn, Vance explained, "The evidence continues to damage the former president more and more as it unfolds and this is perhaps the most critical piece." RELATED: Michael Cohen hands the DOJ some advice as they try to track down Trump's missing documents "Something we can take away from this, Erin, is that even those around Trump, even his advisers, were not foolish enough to take this so-called deal to Justice Department and to the National Archives," she maintained. "Whether it's technically extortion, whether it is some other misconduct, nothing about this is seemly for a former president."
