Trump Facing ‘Criminal Exposure’: Ex-DOJ Official Says Subpoenas Likely Next
Donald Trump may be under legal scrutiny from a number of outlets at the same time.
On Monday, MSNBC's Ari Melber discussed a Daily Beast report about two grand juries in Georgia looking into the former president's efforts to sway the 2020 election by lobbying state officials to change the outcome.
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal told Melber, "He definitely is looking at criminal exposure." “Donald Trump is the only president in history who has had more open grand juries than electoral victories.”
Grand juries, according to Katyal, are a "very serious prosecutorial measure." The next move could be even more important.
“It seems, based on news reports, that they are about to use their investigative powers to subpoena — that is, obtain information from the president,” he explained.
Why two grand juries were involved instead of just one, Katyal said, remained a mystery.
“But right now, if you're Donald Trump, it's not looking good,” he said.
By almost 12,000 votes, Trump lost Georgia.
Melber also stated that Trump may be sued by Dominion, a voting corporation that has filed defamation suits against Fox News and a number of people associated with the former president, and hasn't ruled out suing Trump personally.
In addition, Trump is the subject of a criminal investigation in New York.
