One national security lawyer described Trump's actions like "the Godfather — if it was reenacted by a five-year-old."
To veteran national security lawyer Kel McClanahan, it brought to mind "the Godfather — if it was reenacted by a five-year-old."
"I found it hilarious that some of his most incriminating things were recorded by his lawyers," McClanahan told Insider.
To McClanahan, the executive director of National Security Counselors and a lecturer at George Washington University's law school, Smith's indictment against Trump is "masterfully written."
Trump has cast Smith's case as politically motivated and said he was within his legal rights to hold on to the government documents.
