🤣 #DanScavino has proudly served as #Trump’s social media guru for nearly a decade, now occupying the role of dpty chief of staff. But in court, he’s arguing his relationship w/Trump could be disastrous to his reputation.

That [gem of a] legal argument popped up in one of the few major court cases against #Trump that have continued since he assumed the presidency & still threaten his bank account — one in which cops & legislators are trying to hold him personally accountable for the damage his followers caused when they stormed the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021.
#Trump is currently trying to use the shield of presidential #immunity to snuff out these 8 consolidated lawsuits. Opposing lawyers countered in Feb with a 55-pg court filing that was supported by 186 exhibits.
3 of those apparently involve #DanScavino, who’s now trying to keep them from going public.
On Mar 7, #DanScavino’s atty asked the judge to keep them under seal—& even “require the redaction of any reference to the contents” within them going forward. But it’s his argument for doing so that could raise eyebrows:
“The current political climate &…news cycles over the last 9yrs have demonstrated that revealing inoffensive details about one’s involvement w/… #Trump’s admin, particularly in the matters discussed in the sealed exhibits, would likely to lead to public degradation.”
inoffensive details ≠ working for Trump.
