'He is the man': Watergate prosecutor explains who could doom Trump in election probe

There is likely one man at the center of Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and he has already testified before the grand jury, according to Watergate lawyer Nick Ackerman.

Ackerman appeared on CNN Friday night, when he was asked which of the Trump world "players" he thought Smith would be "most interested in." Ackerman previously said Rudy Giuliani's voluntary interview could spell trouble for Trump.

In this case, though, Ackerman turned his attention to Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows.

"In terms of all those people, I mean in terms of the person who can put it all together, I believe is Mark Meadows," Ackerman told the host. "He was the chief of staff. He was really the in between person between the Willard hotel people, Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone, General Flynn and Donald Trump."

Ackerman added that we know from Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony that Meadows "was going to go to a meeting on January 5th at the Willard hotel."

"But due to her kind of warning, he did it over the phone," Ackerman said. "But he knew what was going on. He was curing the messages between all the key players and Donald Trump. So if I had to pick one person on there that I think is the most important, he is the man. And from what we know, he has already testified in the grand jury."

Ackerman concluded:

"Now, I wouldn't believe that he would be testifying in the grand jury unless he had worked out some kind of a deal and he is basically coming clean on everything that he knows."
