'Trump does not want that to happen': Prosecutor drops bad news for ex-president
A proposal by U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan that she might be willing to postpone her European vacation so that she can proceed with what is being called a 'mini-trial" of Donald Trump to satisfy a ruling from the Supreme Court is bad news for the ex-president who already has multiple felony convictions hovering over him like a dark cloud.
That is the opinion of State Attorney for Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg who appeared on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Saturday morning.
With the Supreme Court punting their presidential immunity ruling back to the lower courts which must define what constitutes official presidential duties and what does not, Chutkan has an opening to give the evidence about his conduct before and during the Jan. 6 insurrection a public airing.

Calling it a "silver lining," Aronberg told the hosts, "In Washington, D.C., I think Judge Chutkan is going to hold a mini-trial and is going to be able to just present evidence and to show the world Donald Trump's activities before, during and after January 6th."
"Trump does not want that to happen," he asserted. "That mini-trial will expose his conduct, even though there will not be a trial before the election. "
He later added, "I don't know the exact date, but she said she would be willing to cancel her European vacation to get this thing going, so I think it will happen before the election. She doesn't want to be played for a fool, she doesn't want to be used as a tool for delay. I think she wants something to be out there."
