New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on Wednesday said that former President Donald Trump's advisers are telling him that winning in 2024 may be the only way to keep him out of jail.
In breaking down the prospect of a potential third criminal indictment against Trump in less than six months, Haberman said that Trump's advisers aren't discounting the notion that he could be found guilty on one of several of the criminal charges leveled against him.
"At the moment, he is seeing this broadly as a threat to his freedom," Haberman said. "And his advisers have been, in private conversations, pretty blunt that they see it as he has to win the election and that is how he guarantees that he does not face jail time."
Trump revealed on Tuesday that special counsel Jack Smith's office had sent him a target letter informing him that he's facing potential criminal charges related to conspiracy, deprivation of rights, and witness tampering.

Trump already has been indicted on two separate occasions this year related to his role in authorizing illegal hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and for stashing top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort and refusing to give them back even after being served with a subpoena.
