Legal analyst and former U.S. attorney Harry Litman on Monday said he believes “the table is set” for the imminent indictment of Donald Trump in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election result and his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“There’s one main signal,” Litman told MSNBC’s Joy Reid.
“That is, everything they’re talking about in terms of witnesses they have to interview, they don’t need the grand jury for, but it is customary,” he explained. “And in this case, it will happen that Trump’s lawyers will be afforded a final chance to come in and make a last-minute plea, which will not succeed, but they have the opportunity.”
