Former President Donald Trump is very close to going to prison over the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
On MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” Friday, former prosecutor Jim Walden explained the singular piece of evidence needed for Smith to tie Trump criminally to the insurrection.
“We are but humble television producers, and we are pulling all these clips from the hearings to remind ourselves, remind our viewers, what has already been said, what is on record,” said anchor Alicia Menendez. “If you are prosecutors, you are going back through that testimony in advance of having the opportunity to, once again, sit down with some of these aides, but be able to ask them a series of questions that they can no longer deflect, what is the preparation, what is the plan that goes into sitting down with these folks?”
“So, it’s complicated, right?” said Walden. “Because, as you were saying before, there are so many different strands to it. But really, at the end of the day, the question is simple. Did Donald Trump say to any of his aides that he knew the people were going to go in, the rioters were going to go in?”
