In a recent MSNBC ad, the Republican Voters Against Trump PAC paints a somber picture of Donald Trump’s legal troubles. The ad features an actor playing Trump applying for jobs while admitting to various felony charges, including stealing government secrets. In each case, the actor is told that he wouldn’t pass a background check, highlighting the severe consequences of Trump’s legal issues.
MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski discussed the ad with Sarah Longwell, executive director of RVAT.org. Longwell emphasized that Trump’s extensive legal charges make it difficult for voters to understand the severity of his situation. She pointed out that the ad effectively underscores the extent of Trump’s legal liability, emphasizing that he wouldn’t even qualify for a job at a local mall.
In a separate development, legal analyst Danny Cevallos expressed concerns about juror attrition in Trump’s upcoming hush-money trial. Cevallos noted that two jurors have already dropped out, raising concerns that the trial may not have enough jurors to proceed. Cevallos explained that jury attrition can be a problem in organized crime cases, where jurors may have safety concerns. He also emphasized the importance of having enough alternate jurors to cover potential losses.
Opening statements in Trump’s trial are scheduled to begin on Monday morning. Legal analyst Norm Eisen expects the prosecution to focus on establishing Trump’s criminal intent in making payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Eisen highlighted the importance of two attorneys on the jury who can help guide the other jurors in understanding the legal complexities of the case.
Overall, these recent developments underscore the significance of Donald Trump’s legal challenges and raise questions about the potential impact they may have on his upcoming trial and his political future.
