“This is veteran Florida litigator Chris Kise who proposed this deal to other Trump advisors, who then floated it to the former president. When he first was hired last year, it was quickly shot down … It really shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the former president turned down the effort on behalf of Kise and maybe some of his other lawyers to try to take a more cooperative stance towards the Justice Department. As this would be a bit unusual for the posture both publicly and privately Trump has taken towards these myriad investigations.” - Jacqueline Alemany
