«Special counsel Jack Smith is a real danger to Trump’s freedom,» a legal expert told Newsweek following new case developments.
Aside from the hush money investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump faces potential legal peril due to serious criminal investigations pertaining the Department of Justice (DOJ), his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot, whether or not he pushed for 2020 election results to be overturned in Georgia, and his alleged mishandling of classified documents discovered at his Mar-A-Lago residence.
Trump himself propped up the possibility that he would be indicted Tuesday as part of Bragg’s investigation into whether Trump paid Daniels $130,000 to hide their alleged affair prior to the 2016 election.
Bragg has been the target of Trump’s verbal vitriol in the past two weeks. He has been referred to by Trump as a «racist» who only cares about «getting» Trump, with the former president saying Bragg «should be held accountable for the crime of interference in a presidential election.»
The district attorney has been chided by Trump and other Republicans for his affiliation with billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros, who through his Color of Change PAC provided $500,000 to Bragg’s 2021 campaign.
Trump called Bragg a «Soros-backed radical left prosecutor.» Trump’s potential GOP presidential rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, referred to Bragg as a «Soros-funded prosecutor.»
That is due to those cases relating to the safety, security and stability of the country, he said, while the accusations pertaining to Daniels occurred seven years ago and before Trump was ever elected.
He said accusations against Trump as part of the Fulton County, Georgia, probe is «probably the most serious possible thing he can be accused of.
