MSNBC s Lawrence ODonnell on Tuesday pointed out how he believes lawyers for Donald Trump have stepped in it with their use of a single word in their latest filing, an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the review of classified documents that were recovered from the former presidents Mar-a-Lago home.

Trumps legal team made the mistake of using a word that they have not used before, said The Last Word anchor.

That word: possession.

In describing Donald Trumps relationship to these documents, after saying in their Supreme Court appeal tonight, once again, that this case is, essentially a document storage dispute, the Trump lawyers, on page 30, went on to say the Government has sought to criminalize President Trumps possession and management of his own personal and presidential records, ODonnell explained.

Possession of those records is a crime, he added.
