Anthony Scaramucci briefly served as White House Communications Director in the Trump administration and has known failed ex-president Donald Trump for many years, and he says he knows his former boss is worried and even terrified of what the outcome will be in the New York business and election fraud case currently being deliberated by a jury.
On Wednesday, Trump said during a court break that “Mother Teresa could not beat these charges,” which led Scaramucci to note:
“If you see that accordion move that he’s doing right there, that’s a nervous tic of his.”
“And so, when he gets upset, he always goes to the accordion move and so that that’s a tell that he’s bummed out.”
Scaramucci added he’s “pretty confident” that Trump has been told by his attorneys that his chances of being acquitted of the charges against him are slim to none, which he suspects has badly rattled the former head of state.
“And so I think he’s preparing his base and he’s preparing himself, mentally, for a potential guilty [verdict]… if he gets off, then he’s better than Mother Teresa.”
Jury deliberations could take days and we may not have a verdict until next week.
