Opinion by Greg Sargent: Democrats can't let the GOP dominate discussion of the legal travails of Trump and Hunter Biden.
That’s odd, because in the recording, Trump mentioned a “plan of attack,” which he later called “secret information” and said he couldn’t declassify as a former president. Regardless, Trump didn’t deny discussing the material with people lacking clearance; he merely claimed it wasn’t one of the documents he hoarded, which will presumably be examined at trial.
All of this calls for more pushback from Democrats, who remain skittish about commenting on the indictment. In fact, Biden hasto remain silent on the prosecution to avoid appearing to politicize it. But with Trump and Republicans working to portray it as the stuff of banana republics, Democrats can’t let these attacks go mostly unanswered.
Any Democrats who don’t want to directly address the indictment itself now have the option of talking about Trump’s comments to Fox. They can point out that Trump has admitted to discussing national security secrets with bystanders and improperly hoarding classified materials.
