Former Prosecutor: Trump Is Facing A ‘Legal Avalanche’ Beginning Next Week

Former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne said Sunday morning that a confluence of legal events facing former president Donald Trump may result in him being indicted in multiple jurisdictions as soon as next week.

Asked about a report from the New York Times detailing how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is prepared to indict the ex-president as soon as next week for hush money payments he made to Stormy Daniels, Alksne noted, “It does seem to me that an indictment there is imminent. There is a confluence of all these events that is overwhelming right now.”

She added:

“We have an indictment that may be coming out of New York, we have an indictment in Fulton County that looks like it is coming, we have the E. Jean Carroll case to be tried in April, and we have the Dominion suit which has a lot to do with Trump and lies — it’s an amazing legal avalanche on the shoulders of Trump right this minute.”

However, Alksne predicted that that case out of Manhattan is inconsequential in the long term and that Trump’s efforts to overturn then 2020 election are what will finally lead to him being tried and convicted.

“A lot of legal observers, frankly, would prefer the gravamen of Trump’s disloyalty to the country by trying to overturn the election and the [special counsel] Jack Smith case and then using the Department of Justice. That is really what he did that is so terrible, right? That is the thing, he tried to overturn our Constitution in a violent way, and we are fiddle-faddling around with some hooker who got paid. And that is not what makes him dangerous to the country.”

“So, while I think this [Manhattan] case is part of the avalanche to me because it has problems, I care deeply about what Jack Smith is doing much more and what is happening in Georgia much more than this case,” Alksne concluded.
