DONALD TRUMP NEWS:POLITICS DONALD TRUMP GLENN KIRSCHNER Ex-Prosecutor Sounds The Alarm On Trump's 'Demonstrated Danger' To Witnesses, Jurors Glenn Kirschner broke down over his concern that judges haven't "stepped up to address" the threat of the former president. Glenn Kirschner — a former U.S. Army prosecutor and current MSNBC legal analyst — warned of the threat Donald Trump poses to witnesses and jurors in his four ongoing indictments as he declared that the former president is a "danger." “I am concerned that the judges have not yet stepped up to address the danger, the ongoing danger, the demonstrated danger of Donald Trump to witnesses, to jurors, to prosecutors, to judges and to their families,” Kirschner told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah. in an interview shared Friday. Advertisement “I hope at some point the judges realize that Donald Trump is a danger to the community and he should be detained pending trial because that will begin to neutralize the threat, in part because you'll take his megaphone away. I think we're going to be having that conversation in the months to come," he added. Kirschner's remarks follow several instances where Trump has hurled social media attacks at prosecutors including special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. In August, Georgia officials said they're investigating threats made to grand jurors who indicted Trump and 18 others. Obeidallah asked the ex-federal prosecutor whether Trump "eclipse[s] the concerns" he has had toward people he has tried in past cases. Advertisement Before discussing Trump, Kirschner described dealing with a criminal organization that he tied to 30 killings where there was an anonymous jury and other security measures in place due to the "danger" posed by the group. “And guess what? They still got to some of the jurors and some of the jurors had to be dismissed midtrial," said Kirschner, adding that he's tried cases with the "most rigorous security measures" in Washington. “I have an even graver concern for Donald Trump because his reach is so broad, his followers are so rabid at times and so detached from reality. I'm sorry, this is a cult,” he said.

DONALD TRUMP NEWS ELECTION 2024:POLITICS DONALD TRUMP 2024 Election ADAM SCHIFF Adam Schiff: Disqualifying Trump Could Be 'Legitimate Issue' In 2024 Election Schiff said there is a "valid argument" for keeping Donald Trump off the ballot next year. The video player is currently playing an ad. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) thinks there are serious questions about whether Donald Trump is even eligible for the office of president. On Sunday, the California congressman said that there is “pretty clear” evidence Trump is in violation of the 14th Amendment’s third section, which blocks anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from serving in elected office. ADVERTISEMENT Schiff explained why there is a “valid argument” for keeping Trump off the ballot while appearing on MSNBC following earlier reports that election officials across the U.S. are bracing themselves for legal challenges to Trump’s 2024 presidential candidacy. “If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running,” Schiff told host Jen Psaki. Donald Trump speaks to the media after being booked at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Aug. 24.

It just requires that you have engaged in these acts," he continued, later adding how that definition "fits Donald Trump to a T." Trump has been accused of inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, riots with his claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election. He is currently facing multiple criminal charges over his actions leading up to and during the attacks on the U.S. capital. Schiff said any case against the former president would still face major legal scrutiny, telling Psaki how any 14th Amendment-based challenges to Trump’s candidacy would likely end up in the Supreme Court, which currently holds a 6-3 conservative majority. Rep. Adam Schiff speaks as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. The Capitol holds its final meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 19, 2022.

JACQUELYN MARTIN VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS "That's the big question mark through all of this," the congressman said. “Which is what will the Supreme Court do?” “There are prominent constitutional scholars, as well as prominent progressive scholars who believe that he should be disqualified,” Schiff went on. ADVERTISEMENT “But, will the court take that step ultimately? Only time will tell, but I do think it is a very legitimate issue. By the clear terms of the 14th Amendment, he should be disqualified from holding office." This weekend Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) made a similar case during an appearance on ABC “This Week,” telling anchor George Stephanopoulos there’s a “powerful argument to be made” for invoking the 14th Amendment. “In my view, the attack on the Capitol that day was designed for a particular purpose at a particular moment,” Kaine said. “And that was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power as is laid out in the Constitution. So I think there’s a powerful argument to be made.” RELATED:Donald Trump NEWS
