‘I Was Going To Let You Go—’ CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Extends Hit To Smack Down Ex-Trump Attorney’s Claim of ‘Two-Tiered Justice’
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins extended her interview with former Trump attorney Jim Trusty to smack down his claim of a “two-tiered justice system” — by citing the prosecutions of Democratic figures like Hunter Biden and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
Trusty represented Trump in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents under the Espionage Act — until shortly after former President Donald Trump announced his own indictment.
On Thursday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Collins told Trusty — who remains a Trump loyalist since his departure — that she was prepared to let him go until he dropped an aside about Trump being treated unfairly:
TRUSTY: But I can tell you that the grounds for frustration, the concerns about a two-tiered system, are legitimate ones.
COLLINS: OK. But you’re not expressing — well, OK, I was going to let you go after that. But I got to ask you.
You can’t really call it a two-tiered system of justice. Look at the number of Democrats, who are being investigated, right now. I think Senator Bob Menendez would argue that it’s a two-tiered system of justice.
TRUSTY: Well —
COLLINS: Hunter Biden, I mean, the list goes on.
TRUSTY: Hunter Biden? You’re using Hunter Biden as an example of equal justice? I’d have a hard time with that.
COLLINS: I’m just saying you can’t call it a two-tiered justice — system of justice, because there are plenty of Democrats, who are also being investigated, by the Justice Department —
TRUSTY: Yes, I —
COLLINS: — including the President’s — the sitting President’s son.
TRUSTY: Well, there’s a —
COLLINS: Jim Trusty?
TRUSTY: We’ll come back and talk about Hunter’s case, some night. That’ll be fun. But anyway, thanks for having me on, Kaitlan.
COLLINS: Jim Trusty, thank you for your time, first interview, back on CNN. Appreciate your time.
