The Teflon Don should sweat Nevada's grand jury indictments of six suspected bogus Trump electors.
That's the thinking by CNN reporter Jamie Gangel, who appeared on "The Situation Room" to weigh in on the case where Nevada Republican Party Chair Michael McDonald and Clark County Republican Chair Jesse Law, who had just announced his candidacy for Nevada State Assembly, were charged.
"You never know with Trump what really worries him, but let's put it this way: they should worry him," she said. "Even though he is not named in this case the way he was in Georgia, additional charges conceivably could be brought."
Aside from racking up another potential indictment, she thinks Trump needs to be eyeing this case because it is relying on testimony by his former attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who is one of his co-defendants in the Fulton County RICO statute case blaming the 45th president and 18 others for cooking up a scheme to flip the 2020 election loss to favor him.
"But I think there's another reason for him to worry: Kenneth Chesebro is a critical witness and he's been going state to state giving evidence," she adds.

Chesebro served as Trump's attorney and is accused of orchestrating his campaign's 2020 fake electors plot.
In late 2020, it was Chesebro who penned memos strategizing how the pro-Trump electors could achieve certification to favor Trump in their respective states.
One memo suggested Chesebro was well aware he was promoting a “controversial strategy” that wouldn't likely hold up if it were brought before the Supreme Court.
Chesebro took a plea deal in Fulton County Georgia for the 2020 election subversion case.
By doing so he admitted to conspiring with Trump to prop up faux electors in numerous states.
Gangel asked: "So, what does this mean in the federal case with Jack Smith where Trump is the one named person?"
The former president has pleaded not guilty.
So far, he's facing 91 felony counts in four criminal cases stretching from Washington, New York, Florida, and Georgia.
If convicted, Trump could be sentenced to years in prison.
