Former President Donald Trump has constantly been lashing out at prosecutors as more developments in investigations concerning him have emerged. According to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, Trump’s threats against prosecutors investigating him seem to suggest that he may be trying to hide something worse than the possible crimes committed.
Speaking on MSNBC Tuesday, Vance weighed in on the recent move by Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney Fani Willis to invoke the assistance of the FBI as she continues her investigation into the former president’s attempts to interfere with the state’s election results. Vance noted that Willis is unlikely going to tolerate any more threats from the former president.
Trump has attacked the prosecutors that are currently investigating him; Willis, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and the Manhattan District Attorney. The former president called the prosecutors “racist,” “horrible,” and “mentally sick,” and even threatened to have his supporters stage a protest should the prosecutors “do anything wrong or illegal.”
According to Vance, the problem with Trump’s threats against the prosecutors lies in the context of the threats and said that Willis did the “smart thing” in invoking the FBI for assistance in security. When host Joy Reid pressed Vance on which of the three ongoing investigations appears to be “richest,” Vance said that it would narrow down to the kind of fraud that the former president may have committed, from election fraud, or insurance or business fraud.
“But let me caution people and say this: Prosecutors often come up with crimes they don’t go into an investigation with, and I think we shouldn’t rule out the place that you started with – this notion of obstruction. And ultimately it may turn out that in Trump’s case, the cover-up is worse than the crime,” said Vance.
Trump also sought to block his White House records of January 6 from the House Committee probing the insurrection, which was ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court. With the National Archives in the process of turning over documents to the committee, a new report reveals that the agency found possible classified documents in the records that the former president brought with him to Mar–a-Lago.
This has since prompted the National Archives to reach out to the Justice Department for guidance, according to the New York Times in the report. The DOJ said the Inspector General would examine the matter, but it remains to be seen what has been done by the IG since then, or if the IG has referred the matter to the DOJ.
