attorney John Lauro says it was both appropriate and required for the president's team to cite the infamous 1931 Scottsboro Boys case when urging a federal judge to put off Trump's Washington, D.C. trial on charges.Lauro, who appeared in federal court on Trump's behalf Monday, called the case a 'foundational element' of a defendant's right to representation – and said Trump's team was 'ethically required' to bring it up.'We did not cite it for the proposition that there was any factual similarity [between the cases] – just what the state of the law was,' he told DailyMailcom, calling it something a lawyer was 'duty-bound' to do.
