Excuse my ignorance, but why would Trump running his mouth in public put his attorneys' clearance at risk?

[โ€“] HelixDab@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Lawyers can potentially get sanctioned for client conduct. I can see a potential problem if attorney are given access to classified information for defense prep, then Trump accesses the information, and then disseminates that information. It's a bit of a stretch, but given how bad Trump's behaviour has been, that's not a stretch I would ignore if I was an attorney.
