Longtime Fox News analyst Brit Hume not withheld on the following Monday Donald Trump‘s creeping performance during an interview with the right-wing network.
“His answers to the matters of the law seem borderline incoherent to me,” he said Bret Baierwho spoke to the former president.
Trump, who pleaded not guilty to 37 charges last week related to the classified documents scandal, said he did not return the material when subpoenaed because he was “really busy” and did not have time to go through the boxes to sort his personal items.
Hume tried to summarize Trump’s comments to Baier:
He seemed to say the documents were really his, and that he didn’t give them back when he was requested and when they were subpoenaed because he wasn’t ready because he didn’t sort them and the secret information or whatever also separated from his golf shirts or whatever he said.”
Finally, Hume practically gave up trying to decipher it.
“It wasn’t entirely clear what he was saying, but he seemed to believe that the documents belonged to him, that he had released them – evidence to the contrary – and therefore he could do with them what he wanted,” he said. “I don’t think it will hold up in court.”
Hume also noted that Baier gave Trump a chance to deliver a message to the suburban female voters turned against him in 2020.
“His response was to talk about how he didn’t lose the 2020 election,” Hume noted. “I don’t think that’s an appealing message for the future.”
He said the interview probably didn’t go down well with those trying to advise the former president.
“I’m sure his legal and political advisers shuddered all the way through his answers on both counts.” he concluded.
