Martin London, a lawyer who represented former Vice President Spiro Agnew, said that President Trump should resign from office to keep federal prosecutors from prosecuting his family.

“It’s only going to get worse,” London said Friday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“We already have everybody, you know — the rats are leaving the ship. He’s lost [Rick] Gates, [George] Papadopoulos, [Michael] Cohen, [Michael] Flynn, now [David] Pecker.” “He’ll probably lose others from the Trump Organization.”

London represented Agnew, who served as vice president under former President Richard Nixon. Agnew resigned while in office in 1973 under legal pressure over a bribery scandal ten months before Nixon stepped down. 

“We don’t know a quarter of what’s in the pocket of the prosecutor,” London said of Mueller.

“If he has any interest at all in not only saving his skin, but the skin of his child, his children, his son-in-law, his grandchildren, his daughter — this is a time when he’s got to seriously think about that,” London said, referring to Trump.“Now, is he capable of that, of serious thinking? Frankly, I doubt it.” 

London said Trump should ponder his advice because his current lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who he also labelled a “clown,” isn’t going to get him anywhere.

“He’s going to be advised by people like clown (Rudy) Giuliani and people who don’t know that truth is truth, then he’s not going to get anywhere,” he said. “The national interest is what drove the Agnew resignation.”
