Trump should 'be very nervous' about what just happened to Giuliani: legal expert

During an appearance on MSNBC, former prosecutor David Henderson claimed the massive $148 million judgment two Georgia poll workers received after winning a defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani should be a red flag for Donald Trump and his inner circle.

Speaking with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., Henderson exclaimed, "To be, honest this isn't just a win, this is one of the biggest wins I've ever heard of."

Using that as a jumping-off point, the former prosecutor claimed the result is a "preview" of what Trump, Giuliani and others slated to be tried in Georgia on racketeering charges related to the 2020 presidential election can expect next year.

"That is an epic victory. The only thing you have to acknowledge, and this goes to your point about nationalism, it does not make up for what these two women went through," he told the host before cautioning, "Rudy Giuliani is in such a downward spiral, they're not likely to see a dime of that money."

He then added, "The real issue here is you've got a preview from the way that the jury down in Georgia is going to receive them. Giuliani, former president Trump, and anyone in their circle should be very nervous about this outcome."

Trump insiders worried supporters may skip voting because victory is assured

Feeling the need to crush Donald Trump's opponents competing for the 2024 Republican party presidential nomination as soon as the primaries begin, the former president and his aides are working overtime in New Hampshire due to inroads being made by former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.

According to a report from CNN, there are fears in the Trump camp that the recent endorsement of Haley by popular Gov. Chris Sununu (R) could cut into the former president's lead so an all-out effort is being made to firm up his support.

On the other hand, the report notes, Trump's massive lead in polls has Trump insiders worried for a different reason.

CNN is reporting, "The burst of campaigning underscores an aggressive effort by Trump’s team to maintain his dominating lead when polls give way to actual voting. His advisers have privately voiced concerns that Trump supporters could simply assume he has a comfortable advantage in the race and is not reliant on their votes."

Those concerns led the former president to tell a crowd at an Iowa rally this past week, "We are leading by a lot, but you have to go out and vote.”

The report adds that Trump is trying to diminish Haley's growing support, telling the crowd, "There’s no surge. They don’t have any surge."
