Asked if he believed the lawsuit against Trump was “legal, nonpartisan” and “apolitical,” Sununu said, “No, I don’t think so.” But it doesn’t matter.

“If he becomes president, they’ll definitely keep surrounding him, right? So in the end nothing will be accomplished. So it doesn’t really matter whether you buy them out or not. As a matter of fact , those are his messes and he has to deal with it,” he continued.
Sununu is an ardent supporter of Trump’s primary Republican primary opponent, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has also repeatedly criticized what she calls “chaos” around the former president. Ta.
