A Watergate prosecutor says the 457-minute gap in Trump's White House call logs could mean that his alleged crimes are 'incalculably worse' than Nixon's
"A prosecutor during the Watergate scandal believes that former President Donald Trump's alleged crimes, which may have been obscured by missing White House phone logs, could be "incalculably worse" than former President Richard Nixon's offenses.
"It is often said that Nixon's cover-up was worse than his underlying crime. The reverse is potentially true for Trump," wrote Jill Wine-Banks in an an op-ed published on April 2 by NBC.
"Trump's records gap is 25 times as long as Nixon's, but his alleged crime could be incalculably worse," she added.
Trump is currently under scrutiny over a gap of seven hours and 37 minutes in the White House's call logs on the day of the Capitol riot. The absence of these call records has also prompted the House January 6 committee to investigate a "possible cover-up."
"A lot can be said in 457 minutes," wrote Wine-Banks. "Comparisons to the 18.5-minute gap in a crucial President Richard Nixon recording were immediately obvious to me," she added."
