Trump may face more legal trouble over the Jan. 6 riots than the Mar-a-Lago document search, former White House lawyer Ty Cobb told CBS News.
“I think the president is in serious legal water, not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he took in connection with the Jan. 6 proceeding,” Cobb told. “That was the first time in American history that a president unconstitutionally attempted to remain in power illegally.”
He said that Trump violated the Consitution by giving comfort to the Jan. 6 rioters, and for the "three hours of inaction with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol."
