'I can guarantee' Trump is thinking about jail every night: criminal defense lawyer
A prominent criminal defense attorney said Thursday that despite Donald Trump’s outward swagger, his mounting legal troubles have left the former president worried about serving time behind bars.
“He's facing 71 felony counts, you may have at least two more indictments, one of these cases or more is going to get tried, right?" A. Scott Bolden said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”
“And if you don't plea out, and you get convicted in state court and or federal court, and you've never been in trouble before, there's a high probability that you're going to be sentenced,” Bolden said.
“I don't care whether you're a former president, whether you're running for office or not. The criminal justice system cares nothing about that despite all the political machinations about how this has been weaponized, prosecutors and what have you.”
And Bolden said he has no doubt Trump is aware of this.
“I can guarantee, I can guarantee you every night, Donald Trump is thinking about his liberty and his freedom despite his bravado,” Bolden said.
“I've represented business leaders, corporate CEOs, athletes, entertainers, and a lot of politicians who've run for office and under indictment. And I can tell you in their private moments with their lawyers, and with their families, they're thinking about that future and Donald Trump is worried about this now.”
