FOX News (WBAP/KLIF) – Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Sunday ripped into President Trump’s legal team for waging unsuccessful legal challenges to his loss in the November election, calling their efforts a “national embarrassment.”
Christie made the comments during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.” Asked by host George Stephanopoulos whether it was time for Trump’s legal fight to end and enable a transition, Christie, a longtime supporter of the president, said: “Yes.”
“The president has had the opportunity to access the courts … if you’ve got the evidence of fraud, present it,” Christie said. “The legal team has been a national embarrassment.”
He criticized former federal prosecutor and Trump attorney Sidney Powell for accusing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp of a “crime,” yet being unwilling to go on national television to “lay out the evidence she supposedly has.”
“This is outrageous conduct by any lawyer,” Christie said. “They allege fraud outside the courtroom but when they go inside the courtroom they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud.”
“Yes,” Chris Christie tells @GStephanopoulos when asked if it’s time for President Trump to stop challenging the 2020 election results, adding that the president’s legal team has been a “national embarrassment.” https://t.co/e1MsmOnmJT pic.twitter.com/XetD6iJfDG
