TL;DR Summary

Former prosecutor criticizes Donald Trump's defense attorney, John Lauro, for making what he deems as an "admission" on live TV regarding Trump's involvement in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Lauro stated that Trump asked Vice President Mike Pence to pause the Electoral College voting for 10 days to allow state legislatures to review the results, but did not instruct any obstruction of due process. The former prosecutor argues that Lauro's statement can be used against Trump if he were to testify, calling it a "rookie mistake" and not a smart move. The indictment in the election probe alleges that Trump, along with a co-conspirator believed to be lawyer John Eastman, tried to convince Pence to reject Biden's electoral votes based on false claims of election fraud.
