MSNBC HOST CALLS OUT TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT LEGAL TEAM FOR BEING 'ASSOCIATED' WITH 'PEDOPHILE' EPSTEIN
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough strongly criticized the defense team for President Donald Trump, arguing that it was "associated with a pedophile," referring to deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Scarborough, a former Republican congressman who now identifies as an independent, made the remark during his MSNBC show Morning Joe on Monday. The host's criticism arose due to Trump's legal team members Ken Starr, who led the independent counsel investigation into former President Bill Clinton, and Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard law professor, both previously having worked for Epstein.
"Let's talk about the selection of a legal team, and talk about a president who has such trouble finding legal representation that he actually got the legal team that helped put together the plea deal, and helped represent Jeffrey Epstein," Scarborough, who regularly criticizes Trump and his administration, said on Monday.
"I can't imagine another president at any time having to select a team that would be associated with a pedophile, who according to recent reports trafficked in young girls as young as 11-years-old," he said.
