Glenn Kirschner, who worked for six years as a prosecutor for the US Army and 24 years for the US government, told Sky News that the weight of Republican witnesses against Mr Trump would make it very difficult for him to claim he was being unfairly persecuted. Mr Kirschner, who once worked under Trump-era special prosecutor Robert Mueller, has previously argued that Mr Trump's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic amounted to manslaughter or even murder.
