Former Prosecutor Exposes Trump’s Latest Legal Maneuver as Solely About One Thing

Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner provided insight into Donald Trump’s demand for a mistrial in his civil fraud trial. In an interview with MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez, Kirschner explained that calls for a mistrial are common as they can be raised on appeal. He dismissed the Trump legal team’s claims of bias against Judge Arthur Engoron and his law clerk, calling them baseless. Kirschner also addressed the accusation that the clerk had inappropriate influence, stating that judges often rely heavily on their clerks for assistance. He concluded that Trump’s lawyers are likely using these claims to appeal to his base and solicit more funds.
