Ex-Trump official: Trump team 'has reason to be worried' because Jack Smith is bringing evidence
Former President Donald Trump and his associates should be "worried" about the evidence that special counsel Jack Smith has on them should he decide to move forward with an indictment in the January 6 investigation, argued former Trump Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews in a panel on CNN Wednesday.
Matthews' analysis comes as Trump has announced he received a target letter from Smith — a likely indicator that charges are coming.
"You were one of the witnesses who testified before the House January 6 Select Committee, so you are aware of Trump's actions around the Capitol attack. Are you surprised to hear that the special counsel's case against Trump seems to be larger, involving more evidence and more witnesses than Trump's attorneys expected?"
"I don't think that is surprising at all," said Matthews, who has previously said she has "some regrets" about staying on with the Trump administration to the extent that she did. "I think they had access to different materials that the congressional committee could not get access to. Particularly witnesses."
For example, Matthews continued, "obviously we know that the Vice President went before the grand jury in this case, and that wasn't something that happened with the January 6th Committee."
"I think they have reason to be worried, the Trump team, because I think they will have even more evidence," added Matthews. "And obviously the evidence that was uncovered in the January 6th Committee hearings was really shocking, particularly Cassidy Hutchinson, my former colleague's testimony."
