Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who was once nicknamed a “legal pitbull” for his tough tactics ― predicted donald trump will be indicted this week for his mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House.
“A million stories about the Trump case, but the bottom line is that he will be impeached and it will be in DC. And this week,” Weissmann tweeted Monday.
He added: “Open issues are whether others can be charged and whether they will be in DC or FLA.”
Weissmann expanded on his prediction on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.”
Trump could actually be impeached in Florida and not Washington, Weissmann acknowledged to introduce Nicolle Wallace.
“I don’t think that’s the case, but I do think, the only thing I’m pretty sure about, is that we’re going to see charges in regards to the classified documents case and it looks like, by all accounts, it’s going to be this week. because I think the Department of Justice will feel that internal pressure to move forward with this,” he added.
Trump himself on Monday suggested he was close to being charged in the case, ranting on his Truth Social platform: “How is it possible that the Department of Justice indicts me, that I did nothing wrong, when no other president (sic) was indicted.”
The investigation is one of several legal problems plaguing the former president. He will face trial next year in the Stormy Daniels hush money payment case. Criminal investigations into her alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 Georgia election result and her role in the January 6 insurrection are also ongoing.
