Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner has set out a potential timeline for when ex-President Donald Trump could be charged in further investigations.

Trump has become the first sitting president or former U.S. president in history to face criminal charges following an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. On Tuesday, the former president pleaded not guilty to 34 counts related to falsifying business records during his arraignment .

Trump faces several more investigations as he attempts a third run for the White House in 2024. Special Counsel Jack Smith is leading two Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations against the former president, including the handling of Classified documents found at his mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida in August.

Kirschner said during Wednesday’s episode of his justice matters series on YouTube that he thinks a federal indictment related to the DOJ’s investigation of the classified documents may soon follow Trump’s charges in New York.

Trump could then see charges stemming from an investigation led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Kirschner said, which is examining efforts to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. The investigation originally centered on a phone call Trump made to Georgian Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which the former president asked him to “find” the votes needed for Trump to defeat President Joe Biden. in the state.

The fourth and final indictment, Kirschner predicts, could come from Smith’s second investigation, which focuses on Trump’s actions during the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

“Friends, justice, accountability have been a long time coming,” Kirschner said as he closed his show. “But we’ll get there.”

Earlier Wednesday, Kirschner said on the Julie Mason Mornings show that Trump incriminated himself in the Mar-a-Lago investigation late last month while speaking on Fox News. The former prosecutor pointed to a moment in Trump’s interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity when Trump said he had the “right” to take classified material from his time in the White House.

“As a prosecutor, I never dreamed of having this kind of directly incriminating evidence,” Kirschner said.

Smith appears to be nearing the end of his Jan. 6 investigation, as he won a court victory the day Trump was impeached in Manhattan. Smith received permission to subpoena former Trump aides.

The DOJ’s investigation into classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago also intensified last month after Smith ordered at least two dozen subpoenas for people who work at Trump’s home in Florida.

Trump also faces a $250 million fraud lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Trump of misrepresenting the value of his multi-billion dollar properties to mislead his investors. In error.
