Donald Trump’s recent criminal conviction could pave the way for future guilty verdicts in his pending trials, according to legal analyst Norm Eisen. Speaking on the podcast No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, Eisen explained how the unanimous decision by a New York jury to hold Trump accountable on 34 counts of falsifying business records might influence juries in subsequent cases against the real estate mogul. Eisen, who served as special counsel and special assistant to the President for ethics and government reform in the White House, discussed how the first conviction might create a ‚permission structure‘ for future jurors. He said, „The news of this case and the verdict was so loud that future jurors noticed it. The question is, when are we going to get those cases?“
As per Raw Story, despite the delays in Trump’s other trials, which include petitions to the Supreme Court for unprecedented ‚presidential immunity,‘ Eisen is confident that the initial conviction has set a significant precedent.
