The Week reports:
MSNBC justice and security analyst Matthew Miller said Trump’s statement in and of itself could be the potential confession of a crime. “You know, it is a crime to solicit or accept anything of value from a foreign national in a campaign,” Miller explained to the Morning Joe hosts.
“The ‘thing of value’ has never come up in this context before because we’ve never had a campaign like this, that potentially colluded with a foreign government, but in other contexts, in bribery cases and extortion cases, a thing of value doesn’t have to be money.”
