about what you are hearing. this sounds like an admission. the former president asked him to reject the electors. here, they are talking about a delay, but this admission is the violence either way. this goes back to forming the intent. and i think a lot of focus is on divisive council and the first amendment, but really, all of these come down to intent and mike pence is going to be a witness, if he s an actual witness, comes in, and raises his hand, the oath. it seems like the government is relying on that and i would add if you are jacks mitt and you are planning on featuring mike pence so prominently in the indictment, you must know something we don t know, which is that we might get him to come in and testify, after all, you can subpoena him, he is a citizen, like anybody else. he may have privilege claims, but yes, jack smith takes
for trump, arraignment number three is tomorrow. how he is preparing for it the legal fight of his life, and the judge overseeing it has delivered this line, presidents are not kings. plus, could be the most important case in the u. s. history? one of the nation s top election experts says democracy is on the line in the united states versus donald trump. i m kaitlan collins, and this is the source. donald trump will be arraigned in less than 24 hours from now, right here in washington, d.c.. the first time for crimes he allegedly committed us president against his country. he s expected to appear in court at 4 pm eastern, in person, we are told, and today, his former vice president and now 2024 challenger, and a critical witness in this case, had a lot more to say about the january 6th indictment, and his former boss s role.
he has a select, few number of attorneys. he appears to be very affluent, and have a number of resources at his disposal to maybe acquire additional council. it takes a learning curve. but prepare that to the average joe. because people would say the, hold on a second, if you don t want to have four trials against you, then don t commit for different acts that would warrant probable cause by means of an indictment. is that gonna have some means to say, so bad, too bad for you that you have to juggle that. but maybe it s your own conduct? and i don t have to give you the same benefit of the doubt? you and i both worked the doj. and we had some great years. but there were many times when there was a state prosecution, and thens there s counting, or you know the feds and the state folks talk. which trial goes first? how long is that gonna be? and then you can go second, or whatever. so there has to be some coordination between the fed prosecutors, and the state. the coordination does
and also a speedy trial act. we have to be careful that he is given enough time because he is presumed innocent. to fight these charges. so these cases have to be spread out. do i think that the first two indictments, the one from mar-a-lago, and manhattan, the manhattan one is not the strongest one in my view. but the one in mar-a-lago is just a slam dunk. if he gets indicted by fani willis which appears to be a strong case, the allegations, and he gets the january 6th indictment. which i think is going to be strong, i am still concerned about the timing. so the judges should get together somehow to talk about their schedules. because you cannot just make, even the president of the united states, or another known person, fight for charges simultaneously. we talked about due process, but really are talking about, i have to have time to defend myself. and have time to prepare.
clear one thing. that this investigation is still very much ongoing, despite the charges that came down last week. and it also shows how this case against former president trump, it continues to grow, all as we await potentially another indictment related to january 6th and experts to subvert the 2020 election. so a lot going here, as he continues to be even more legal peril. when you re a defendant, and you hear newly-obtained evidence? and you already have an indictment? are you shaking in your boots? our wet? i m not sleeping at night. let s put it that way. i was a prosecutor for many years, not a defense attorney. i do have to say this though, when i was prosecuting. presumption of innocence was cherished to me. it was sacred. and of course as a defense attorney, it also is. here is what concerns me. we could have four indictments against donald trump, the due process clause kicks into me,
