A former White House attorney in the administration of Donald Trump is predicting that the failed ex-president will soon be indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice for crimes connected to the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol.
Ty Cobb told CNN’s Erin Burnett, “I believe it’s about to happen.”
“I think what is called the Jan. 6 case, which really encompasses all the attempts to cling to power and prevent the peaceful transfer of government, I think that has been a very important matter to the special prosecutor,” Cobb added. “I think he has gone about it very deliberately, I think they have moved heaven and earth to do it in a timely way.”
Cobb also told Burnett, “I think they are ready to go. I don’t think there are many i’s to dot or t’s to cross yet, but I do think there are some difficult decisions.”
Trump is facing other charges related to the 2020 election in the state of Georgia, where Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis seated two grand juries on Tuesday that will consider whether or to indict the ex-president for his role in attempting to overturn balloting in the Peach State so that he could be declared the winner even though he lost to President Joe Biden by nearly 12,000 votes. Those ballots were counted and recounted and always showed that Trump lost Georgia’s 16 electoral votes.
