4:12Now PlayingAccording to reports, Donald Trump's legal team is almost begging him to stop making contact to former and current aides that are talking to the January 6th Committee and/or the DOJ, but Trump is refusing to listen. There are already whispers of potential witness tampering due to the fact that Trump's people are paying the bills for some of the witnesses, and if Trump continues to make contact with these people it will definitely become a source of headaches down the line. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

According to a new report. Donald Trump has been as per usual, ignoring the legal advice given to him from his own lawyers and what his lawyers right now are begging him to do is please Donald for the love of God, stop having contacts with people that are testifying in front of the January 6th committee and people that are persons of interest in these ongoing investigations. In short, don't talk to your current aids. Don't talk to your former aids. Don't talk to anybody that was in the white house with you. You have a right to remain silent for the love of God. Would you please exercise it? Because of course the more Donald Trump speaks to these individuals, the more it opens the door for possible things like witness tampering or possibly intimidation. There's also the chance that Donald Trump could end up saying something to one of his confidants that might lead that confidant to thinking, oh God, he's gonna flip on me. Maybe I need to go flip on him. There's all kinds of things that can go wrong. While talking to these people who are also under investigation or who are acting as material witnesses in the ongoing investigations, there is nothing good that is going to come from having conversations with these people.
But Trump doesn't care. Trump's gonna do what Trump wants to do. And right now, Donald Trump just wants to have some conversations. I just want to talk to these people. I just wanna reach out and see how they're doing. Not that I actually care what Donald Trump wants to do. Of course is get information from these people like, Hey, how's it going? How's your mama and them. Hey, um, what'd you tell 'em right? What'd you tell the investigators, I, I hope you remember whose team you're on here. Hey, Mark Meadows. How are you, bud? How's that voter fraud investigation that you're embroiled in going? Yeah, by the way, don't say anything to anyone. I'm your friend and that's all you need to remember. Now those are not conversations, obviously that Donald Trump had, but that is what his lawyers are clearly concerned that he will do. And if he continues to get more and more desperate, as he continues to do, which as the investigations, you know, heat up a little bit, those are conversations that absolutely could happen because Donald Trump is a loose cannon, right? We, we cannot predict what he is going to do or what he's not going to do. And that is terrifying the hell out of his lawyers, who of course are in such a horrible position. Like you've gotta defend this guy. This is your client. You have to keep them in line when you know, well, this is a guy that can't be kept in line. So I don't
Know, know if these lawyers are gonna stick with it or not. You know, is he actually paying the bills? We found out from John Eastman last week, that one of the things he reached out to Rudy Giuliani with, uh, early last year was, Hey, Trump, hasn't paid my bills that I've been sending him and, uh, kind of need the money. So I don't know if Trump's paying this new team of lawyers or not, but maybe they need to take a look at all the former lawyers who never got paid and realize that no matter how good things may be now, trust me, Trump's gonna make a worse one way or another. And then it'll probably stiff you on your bill.
