Trump would be the first president in U.S. history to face criminal charges if indicted.
Former President Donald Trump called on his supporters to protest after he shared in a social media post that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday.
The possible indictment is in connection to a hush money payment of $130,000 sent to adult film star Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election, for which now-former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was later reimbursed. "It's almost anticlimactic. We're talking about the former president of the United States, and he may be indicted for something that's punishable as nothing more than a misdemeanor, which is not the way you want to see the resources of the system expended," said O’Brien.Nonetheless, an indictment would make things complicated.
"You know, the idea that someone running for president who could win is going to be undergoing this process at the same time under which you might be convicted of fraud in a crime against the public, so to speak. It's staggering, really," said O’Brien.
