Trump's next week will be 'legal hell' as ex-president faces 'one-two punch': legal expert

Next week will be "legal hell" for Donald Trump, a former federal prosecutor said Friday.

The former president is dealing with various criminal and civil cases, including a D.C. elections case where the trial could be put on track by the Supreme Court making a decision on Trump's presidential immunity claim. There's also the criminal documents case, where the judge is at risk of being removed for bias. And that's just scratching the surface of his legal woes.

Legal analyst Harry Litman appeared on MSNBC's Deadline: White House on Friday, where he was asked about all of the items on Trump's legal calendar.

After summarizing the various legal cases as they relate to Trump, the host said, "You have the fact that Jack Smith is dialing up the heat on the Mar-a-Lago case. You can almost sense the walls beginning to close in and it's not, you know, we used to talk go this calendar and it was sort of far in the future. There are weeks and days ahead. We are now really in it and if it feels that way for us as people who are watching, it must feel that way to the person who is at the center of the storm."

Litman replied, "You've got to think so."

"These are the two foundations of his empire, right, both staying out of jail, and as the rev was saying, up to $250 million and what that means to post a bond then which he'll have to do and potentially not being able to participate in the real estate business," the ex-prosecutor added. "Even for Donald Trump, even as the weeks have been, this is another week in legal hell that's coming, and the Supreme Court motion for a stay and immunity, except if he's able to wrangle it for a delay, that's going to go against him on the merits, and that's just really calamitous for the whole criminal side of the equation. He's getting a one-two punch like none other in this next week."
