Andrew Weissmann, the former federal prosecutor who served as a top deputy to special counsel Robert Mueller, said this week that President Donald Trump's controversial $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund may have inadvertently exposed him to criminal liability that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling will not save him from.

Weissmann, now an MS NOW legal analyst and professor at NYU School of Law, appeared on the network to discuss the fund Trump created by settling his own lawsuit against the IRS. Asked whether anyone could actually face consequences for the arrangement, Weissmann walked through the legal anatomy of why the immunity defense may not work.

Several of President Donald Trump's recent judicial nominees have displayed a "disqualifying" pattern of behavior that has alarmed a legal expert.

In hearing after hearing, Democrats have asked Trump's judicial nominees: Who won the 2020 general election? Yet several nominees have refused to explicitly say that former President Joe Biden won the election, and have instead deflected, according to Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments about President Donald Trump's executive order to rewrite the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and abolish birthright citizenship, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann broke down the absurdity of the government's position on MS NOW — and predicted it would be smacked down resoundingly.

"I hate to go out on a limb and predict what's going to happen, but let's just say widely, widely within the legal community, the question is how close to 9-0 will this decision be against the administration?" Weissmann told anchor Ari Melber, himself an attorney.

The Trump administration's criminal fraud charges against the anti-hate group watchdog the Southern Poverty Law Center are haphazardly conceived and doomed to failure, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Thursday.

"Let's start there," said Melber, himself a lawyer by training. "Your view of the case legally. And if it doesn't have legal merit, what is it?"

President Donald Trump's administration has been caught hiding Epstein sex trafficking case files that mention the president — and there's a key area in which more damning evidence may be found, former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday's edition of "Deadline: White House."

"Andrew, 90 percent of Americans have heard about the Epstein files. About 60 percent disapprove of Trump's handling of the Epstein files," said Wallace. "The mystery has been why is Trump taking on so much political water over an issue? If he is, as he keeps saying, if there's nothing to see here, do you feel like this reporting ... offers an explanation?"

A legal expert warned on Monday that a federal judge's "egregious" ruling showed she has an absolute bias toward President Donald Trump.

Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida issued a ruling on Monday permanently preventing former special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his investigation into Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 general election from becoming public. In the ruling, Cannon compared Smith's report to other special counsel reports that had been released after an investigation concluded, and argued that releasing Smith's report would unfairly damage the president's reputation.
