On page may one be in the rear view mirror but former president trump's legal worry certainly are not CNN White House correspondent for Sanchez is in west Palm Beach this morning and Boris new investigations adding to a laundry list of legal issues facing the former president. Yeah that's right beyond a former president trump expressing relief over the weekend it being acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial privately though sources close to trump say that he is concerned about potentially facing criminal charges and it appears there is cause for that concern for 1 federal investigators have made clear to CNN but they are looking at everyone and anyone involved in the violence that we saw on Capitol Hill on January 6 and the DA the ID the Attorney General should stay in Washington DC has acknowledged that that office is looking at potentially charging former president trump for his involvement in the insurrection on top of that investigators at several levels in New York are looking at trump businesses both potentially offer criminal and civil litigation as well their allegations that the trump organization committed tax and insurance fraud and beyond that trump could potentially be indicted in Georgia for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the peach state there is 1 angry there is also a criminal investigation looking into trump's calls to the Georgia secretary of state Brad reference burger and beyond that trump is facing a number of defamation lawsuits including from 2 women that allege that trump sexually assaulted them we should be clear trump has denied any wrongdoing in all of these cases and the trump organization does maintain that all of its business practices are done in compliance with the law be on the road out of the former president is facing some serious legal exposure for Sanchez thank you so much for more on this let's bring in Jim Schultz a former lawyer and the trump White House Jim great to have you on this morning so after voting to acquit the former president minority leader McConnell said that the way forward would be through the courts and in even trump's defense attorney seem to suggest that I'm prompted by the way that a better Avenue to deal with any potential crime would be with the legal so. Some take a listen. After he's out of office you're going to arrest him. So there is no opportunity where the president United States can run rampant in in January the end of his term and just go away Scot free the department of justice does know what to do with such people. So it's no surprise the president was not happy with that performance from Bruce castor but what is this an open invitation for the justice department to now step in and bring charges. I don't think the justice department is an open invitation they can certainly launch an investigation they like as it relates to incitement and it appears that they are seriously looking at the in the incitement issue through the DC U. S. attorney's office in the federal prosecutors in the OJ more troubling is the issues going on for the for the president is it are the issues going on I imagine in in New York with the district attorney's office in the AG's office looking at business practices I it just appears that the the former president's gonna be tied up in legal issues for time sometime to come and in particular I think that the the Georgia issues I said I I think or something it's good are going to be on the front burner especially the Fulton County DA and let's talk about that because he's the subject of an investigation as you mention in Fulton County Georgia related to that call that he made with Georgia secretary of state asking specifically defined 11780 votes to essentially overturned the results of the election now that the president is a private citizen how can prosecutors go after any suburban Atlanta motor right for for trying to rig one vote but not someone accused of trying to overturn exactly the number of votes needed to make him the winner. But the president doesn't have the former president doesn't have the protections he had when he was once President terms of investigations in being an immune from investigations while he's the sitting president so certainly a Fulton County the the the DA's office wanted to get involved in a grand jury investigation one doing or Starr grand jury investigation or conduct some type of criminal investigation they certainly could it looks like they're heading in that direction at least asking questions so that's certainly they're entitled to do that the door was opened with the comments that he made sits in connection with his the discussions we have with the with the Georgia. The point head of department the the secretary of state that was certainly not not a not a wise decision on his part to have those conversations to begin with open up the door to potential liability from self okay and no offense to you this is a person who has spent his life time in court even bragged about it right so I think even the the number of attorneys who this president the former president has gone through is sky high that may make many Americans say Hey we've heard about legal issues in the past for the president why is this any different is he facing more legal exposure now is should he be more worried now. The president's been used to civil litigation for his entire career as a businessman I I you know he he was he was in court time and time again as a business person and it's a little different this time because now you're looking at potential criminal investigations which is strikingly different than the civil suits that he's been used to dealing with for years and years. You mentioned that that the civil and criminal investigations here New York the state's Attorney General said that they will be pursuing that as well and the Manhattan district attorney they've been looking into alleged financial crimes going back for years the president's call these in every investigation that he's faced a witch hunt how can all of these probes just realistically all be a witch hunt at some point there is justification for them no. Well the thing about investigations either come to a conclusion or an indictment is brought so they're certainly going to honor the overturn every under overturn every stone take a look take a look and see what's there they're going to bring in witnesses they're going to interview witnesses they're gonna bring folks before the grand jury is where the where the grand jury is available to them and they're going to ask questions and and certainly that's something that prosecutors doing at the end of the day someone has to make a determination as to whether indict or not or drop the investigation and we'll see what happens and someone needs to defend the president's he's entitled to it he reached out to you again today would you go back and work with them. No I've never been a private attorney for the president I served and in the White House counsel's office I did not I've never served in a personal capacity jail to him I haven't been asked and and quite frankly I don't I don't but you know I I don't know that I I would services per I I know that I would not services personal counsel why not. I just I just would not I wouldn't take on that that representation at this point I'm for all the reasons we've seen intends to he tends to run over his personal attorneys and not take their advice when he gives it to them and and tries to strategize beyond what the what the lawyers are trying to do in court so that's that's not something I would take on as a personal turn. All right Jim shell thank you so much we appreciate it.
