John Dean on Sunday said that Senators won't buy Trump's legal defense brief because they're mostly lawyers and the document is 'not legally sophisticated.'
John Dean, who once served as a White House counsel for former President Richard Nixon, on Sunday speculated that President Donald Trump might have dictated some of his own impeachment defense brief because it is"not legally sophisticated.
"I think it's actually going to insult some of the lawyers in the Senate if they're more detailed brief is of the same tone, they're making a serious mistake. Lawyers are not going to buy into this. Most members of the Senate, both parties are lawyers," Dean said, before claiming that Trump's team has doubled down on false statements and distortions of fact.
Dean then expressed his belief that Trump had actually dictated some of the brief, like he reportedly did with the letter sent by White House Counsel Pat Cipollone to leaders in the House last October. Trump's six-page response to the impeachment proceedings, which his lawyers filed with the Senate on Saturday, called the Democrats' efforts to get the president removed from office a"constitutionally invalid" hit job."In the end, this entire process is nothing more than a dangerous attack on the American people themselves and their fundamental right to vote," the filing says.
