Trump Biographer Has Stark Warning For His Attorneys On What Happens Next

The author of a 2005 book about Trump says one key assumption his attorneys make often turns out to be disastrously wrong.

Donald Trump biographer Tim O’Brien on Thursday warned the former president’s attorneys that the gig might not be as lucrative as they think.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace pointed out that many of Trump’s past lawyers have ended up in trouble themselves.

“You don’t have many people who have come out better for it,” she said.

“I don’t think there are any,” O’Brien said, delivering a warning: They might not even get paid.

“If you don’t perform well in front of Donald Trump, he won’t pay his bills,” he said. “And this sort of trade off that, ‘I’ll get publicity or I’ll get a good paycheck, and it’ll be worth whatever professional and personal embarrassments I suffer on the way to that road show,’ I think it often doesn’t come together for people.”
