Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe described having not one but multiple “wow” moments when reading a newly-unsealed court filing from special counsel Jack Smith’s office which offers evidence of Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
“I said, ‘Wow,’ about 25 times in a quick reading of this document,” Tribe told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday.
“I bet there are another 25 that I will encounter,” he added.
Tribe said there are “lots of jaw-dropping things” in the filing.
Such as Trump’s “so what?” response to the news that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been rushed from the Senate during the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 and Trump’s comment to relatives that, “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election, you still have to fight like hell.”
“That’s just a sampling. It’s the tip of a horribly large and scary iceberg,” said Tribe.
Earlier in the interview, Tribe said the filing presented a “mountain of evidence” which was “overwhelming” and that Smith “has the goods, he has the receipts.”
