'A concern for Trump's team': Ex-prosecutor shows how DOJ could expand criminal case to D.C.
Donald Trump is already facing dozens of criminal charges, but his legal liability could be expanded in several states and in Washington, D.C, a federal prosecutor said on Saturday.
Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti appeared on MSNBC, where he was asked about why the DOJ would keep a Florida grand jury seeing evidence while evidence surfaced in Bedminster. Specifically, Mariotti was asked about how Trump's legal team is handling having multiple sources of potential legal liability.
"Well, it's a difficult position for his defense team to be in, because they have to defend against, potentially, a moving target," he said. "They know what the charges are now but they could expand them in the future, and prosecutors always continue to investigate in charges."
Mariotti added that he has used a similar tactic when he brought a case against a real estate developer.
Mariotti also said that he could see criminal cases being brought in Arizona, Georgia, and other jurisdictions lost by Trump. However, he said it was also possible there is a "broad" case merging all these jurisdictions that could be brought in Washington, D.C., where there is already some grand jury activity.
