Trump was indicted on felony charges in the Peach State alongside 18 co-defendants including his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles may soon worsen due to cash-strapped co-defendants in Georgia cutting deals with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, according to former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman.
Akerman predicted during a Tuesday night CNN interview that the „next big thing“ in the Georgia case would be a series of Trump’s co-defendants—including figures like his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani—deciding to cooperate with Willis to save themselves and their pocketbooks.
Giuliani, who is already reportedly struggling to pay off his ever-increasing legal debt, put his $6.5 million Manhattan apartment up for sale earlier this month in a seemingly desperate bid to improve his fortunes.
Akerman suggested that the former New York City mayor would have difficulty finding a lawyer willing to take his case in Georgia, regardless of his cash on hand, due to fears of being „stuck“ with an unpaid bill, „just like“ with Trump.
„He has to be able to pay a lot of money up front to some attorney to represent him in this case,“ Akerman said.
