During his rallies over the weekend to boost MAGA candidates in the 2022 midterm elections, former President Donald Trump made it easier for the Justice Department to bring a criminal case against him, a top prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller argued on Monday.
Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department official and FBI general counsel who was known as Mueller's"pit bull," made the assessment stressing that Trump's own comments bode ill for him as the federal government's investigation into the former president's handling of records heats up. He was making an appearance on MSNBC alongside New York Times journalist Michael Schmidt, who has reported several scoops on the documents inquiry.
Trump headlined two rallies this weekend. At the second one, in Mesa, Arizona, Trump said the FBI should return documents seized from his Florida resort in August."They should give me immediately back everything that they've taken from me because it's mine, it's mine. They took it from me — in the raid. They broke into my house," he said on Sunday. Trump also denied committing any crimes.

Although they never pursued it, Trump floated the idea to aides to try trading records later taken by the authorities for confidential documents he thought would exonerate him on Russia.
