'It's over': Chris Christie predicts Mark Meadows will prove 'deadly' to Trump
Chris Christie says "it's over" for Donald Trump and he knows he'll be convicted, and that's why he's struggling to remember Joe Biden's name and forgetting which city he's visiting.
The former New Jersey governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate said the stress of his legal problems has been weighing heavily on Trump, and he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Mark Meadows, in particular, poses a substantial threat to the ex-president's future now that he reached an immunity deal with special counsel Jack Smith.
"I think it's the stress of what he knows is coming in his criminal problems, and I think this week, because a lot of that was from the last week," Christie said. "That's all post-Mark Meadows. Everyone watching needs to understand, from somebody who did this work for seven years, you don't give Mark Meadows immunity unless the evidence he has is unimpeachable."

"I want Republican voters to understand this," he added. "What's going to be happening in March, he'll be sitting in a courtroom in Washington, D.C., with Mark Meadows 20 feet away from him, saying, 'He committed crimes in front of me, on my watch.'"
Trump seems to be banking on winning re-election and making all the investigations go away, but Christie doesn't think he'll be able to outrun the special counsel now that he has secured Meadows' testimony.
"Look, this is a guy who was velcroed to Trump's hip for the entire 2020 campaign and all the post-campaign nonsense, so this is deadly," Christie said. "It's done, he's going to be convicted – it's over. I don't think he can delay it. I don't have the impression this District Court judge in Washington is amenable to delay."
"Maybe it starts in April, maybe not," he added. "She's not given much to this point to the defense claims for delay. That's why Jack Smith indicted this case with just Trump, because you don't have multiple defendants."
