Jacobson described. “Such a trial would have signified to the public how strong the evidence protested Trump, and likewise would have offered the Trump defense a chance to sneak peek the prosecution’s case against him.”
Jacobson that the Fulton County DA was keeping her target locked on Trump with the plea offers.
Part of the plea offer required that Chesebro and Powell testify in the trials of their co-defendants.
