You've got a couple of witnesses and some tapes, and they don't have any defense to it. The reality is, you know, there's probably only four hours' worth of trial proof that is involved in proving the new charges. The - you know, the new charges - you know, people talk about, you know, the potential for delay. How significant is this arraignment and these new charges?ĬOBB: So the new charges are very significant - the arraignment, not so much. And today, a third defendant in that case is being arraigned, a Mar-a-Lago property manager and former valet accused of trying to delete that footage. There was a superseding indictment last week that brought new charges that included an accusation that Trump was trying to get his employees to delete security camera footage. Trump's facing 40 federal criminal charges in the case where he's accused of willfully retaining and mishandling classified documents. That's the federal indictment that's already here. And the reasons that Trump is being charged will be very clear to anybody who reads the indictment seriously.įADEL: You refer to the documents case as a Michelangelo case. But I think they will put it together in a good narrative. I expect this case to be much more complex because of the number of witnesses and the - and they'll have a larger number of issues to deal with. It puts the case together in a very clear narrative that almost any layperson can understand and certainly the defendants can understand. It's about - it's one of the tighter documents - charging documents I've seen. I mean, certainly, you look at prosecutors a little bit like artists, and the Mar-a-Lago document is definitely a Michelangelo. Thanks for having me.įADEL: So how quickly do you expect special counsel Jack Smith to move on this investigation into Trump's efforts or the accusations that he wanted to stay in office after losing the election and his conduct around the January 6 attack?ĬOBB: I expect he'll move no later than this week.įADEL: And do you expect this case to be a strong case?ĬOBB: Yes. assistant attorney, and he's with us now to talk about this case. Ty Cobb was a member of the legal team in the Trump White House. It centers on the efforts to overturn the 2020 election and obstruct the peaceful transfer of power even as Trump remains the Republican front-runner for the 2024 race by a lot. This one is about undermining democracy in this country. A third criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump, which could come as early as this week, stands apart from other charges already filed against the former president.
