Trump's big mouth is getting him into 'deeper trouble' and could get him incarcerated: legal expert

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump cannot help himself when it comes to making inflammatory comments about his own legal jeopardy, and former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Saland argued on Tuesday that could send him to jail.

"His words getting him deeper and deeper in trouble," he argued. IN OTHER NEWS: 'Fool's errand:' Conservative torches DeSantis presidential bid before it's even announced "So many different things that are developing that are really significant crimes," he replied, and in particular pointed to evidence piling up against Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case that could easily get him slapped with felony charges.
