Jack Smith

Former President Donald Trump faces four criminal indictments, but one of them has gone largely unremarked on in recent weeks – the business fraud case in Manhattan in which he's accused of falsifying records to obscure a hush payment to x-rated film star Stormy Daniels.

And while focus has been on the other trials, District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been quietly outmaneuvering Trump, wrote legal experts Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, and Josh Kolb for MSNBC.

It has been less than 12 hours since Republicans announced they will have an "impeachment inquiry" into President Joe Biden, and a transcript has leaked from an interview with one of the people that disputes a main GOP witness in related matters.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday afternoon that the two IRS employees attempting to claim legal "whistleblower status" testified before the House Judiciary Committee attacking U.S. Attorney David Weiss. According to the claims by one of the men, Gary Shapley, Weiss blocked the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden and his taxes.

Former President Donald Trump is talking with House GOP leadership about a strategy for impeaching President Joe Biden, reported Politico on Tuesday.

Trump, "Has been speaking weekly with House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, who was the first member of Republican leadership to come out in support of impeachment." The pair spoke most recently Tuesday, shortly after McCarthy announced the impeachment investigation would be moving forward.

The media has failed to accurately report Donald Trump's most "crazed" reactions to the criminal cases filed against him, according to a journalist and author.

That has emboldened the former president to step up his attacks on prosecutors using menacing tones, and writer Steven Bechloss joined other experts in examining the threat Trump poses to the justice system and democracy itself in interviews with Salon.

Donald Trump continues to argue his actions after the 2020 election were justified, saying there was a "reason" why he and his 18 co-defendants in Georgia – and the many others convicted or charged with being part of the January 6 insurrection – protested.

Taking to his Truth Social page on Monday evening, Trump said that any of those being "attacked and Indicted" by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis or Special Counsel Jack Smith would be able to show that they had probable cause for their actions.

A judge denied Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia case to federal court last week, and now he sought and was granted an emergency intervention from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Princetown Professor Eddie Glaude called the desperation a "hail Mary" pass.

Donald Trump boasts that his indictments will only help his re-election chances, but his social media posts suggest he's aware that might not be true.

The former president is scheduled to stand trial in special counsel Jack Smith's election interference case starting on March 4, the day before the Super Tuesday primary election in more than a dozen states, and he again claimed the charges had been brought in two federal courts, as well as Georgia and New York, by President Joe Biden to damage his re-election chances.

According to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, expect more indictments coming from special counsel Jack Smith against allies of Donald Trump, likely to be filed in Washington, D.C.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang about the three dozen unindicted co-conspirators listed in Friday's Georgia grand jury report, Kirschner noted that they may have not been part of the 19-defendant RICO indictment -- which included the former president -- already in progress, but they could see themselves hauled into court at a later date.

That, in turn, led him to suggest he expects Jack Smith to make a third indictment filing.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"Here's the outlier, Katie," the former prosecutor explained. "These people, who were named for indictment, but we haven't seen them show up in an indictment yet, they could be indicted in the future."

"Think about the Jack Smith's indictment that was handed down in Washington, D.C.," he stated. "There are six pretty important, unnamed, but pretty well-identified co-conspirators in that case. And I have every expectation that we will see a second wave of indictments in Washington, D.C. of those, thus far, unindicted co-conspirators."

"So it could be that [Fulton County District Attirney] Fani Willis is not yet done indicting people in Georgia," he added.

According to a report from NBC News, away from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago base he is maintaining a post-presidential office paid for by the U.S. government that currently sits in disarray with bankers boxes stacked everywhere leading to questions about what is in them.

As the report states, the office -- ten minutes away from Mar-a-Lago -- has no nameplate by the door and is funded by the federal General Services Administration under the Former Presidents Act.
