Former FBI Director James Comey predicted that former President Donald Trump could win the Republican nomination for President even if he is criminally convicted.
Trump was indicted earlier this year over his alleged involvement in making hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. He is the first president to be criminally charged, and Comey said in an MSNBC interview on Sunday that he anticipates Trump to be the first"incarcerated" president as well, if elected."He could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the nomination at the Republican convention," Comey said of Trump.
