A well-known Florida judge went off-script during an interview with Kimberly Guilfoyle, telling Donald Trump's future daughter-in-law the former president should admit that the federal charges against him are accurate.

"If I was Trump's lawyers, I'd say, yeah, all the facts in this indictment are true," Judge Larry Seidlin told Guilfoyle on a Monday podcast. "I was, in good faith, making a mistake by not sending all those documents back to you. The facts are true."

Seidlin said that Trump may not be found guilty because the prosecution could not show a motive for the crime.

"I'm not getting any bread from this," Seidlin said, speaking as Trump. "I'm a person that loved being president. I loved everything about it, and I kept documents."

"He holds on to everything. He's a hoarder," he added. "My mother-in-law, I'm afraid one day she'll pull out a fish that's 40 years old out of the refrigerator."

Guilfoyle's expression turned to shock.

"My God," she said.

"But he holds on to stuff, Trump," Seidlin pointed out. "So he held on to these documents. He held on to them. Should he have held on to them? It's a good faith mistake."
