Former federal prosecutor John Flannery says ‘it may be criminal’ that the White House sent Trump’s personal lawyer to a classified briefing on the Russia investigation Thursday.

In what appears to be an incredible abuse of power, Trump’s personal lawyer Emmet Flood reportedly attended Thursday’s classified briefing, where the DOJ presented evidence from its investigation into Trump.

Trump ranted at The New York Times in March for reporting that he was planning to hire an impeachment lawyer. Now he’s done exactly what the paper said.
