OJ Simpson has shared his “legal advice” for Donald Trump after the former president’s indictment over his handling of classified documents.
Trump’s second indictment includes a total of seven charges relating to the storage of classified national defense documents during the time of his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida.
If convicted, Trump could face a maximum combined sentence of 100 years in prison.
Simpson said in a Twitter video that the best advice he received from “the greatest legal minds of our generation” was to not publicly discuss the case before a ruling was made. He also stated, “I don’t know if Donald’s lawyers are stressing this too. If they’re not, they should be fired, and he should sue.”
But Trump doesn’t seem to be following Simpson’s advice.
He has done numerous interviews recently including a CNN Townhall and a combative appearance on Fox News on Monday night.
Trump has also claimed on Truth Social that he declassified the documents under investigation. But these claims contradict taped statements obtained by federal prosecutors. In the recording, Trump can be heard talking about classified information with a person without a security clearance who was helping to write a book about his administration. Several text messages also reveal a plan to keep the classified documents and later hinder the federal investigation aiming to locate them.
Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman in 1995. But the ex-NFL star was found liable for their deaths in a 1997 civil case that ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the victims’ families – though he has paid little of it to date.
In 2007, Simpson was convicted of armed robbery after leading a group into the hotel room of a sports memorabilia dealer and stealing from him at gunpoint. He served nine years in prison.
