“The left-wing prosecutor Alvin Bragg in New York, it seems like he can’t, he can’t prosecute a ham sandwich, he just can’t be prosecuted,” said Kudlow, a former Trump White House economic adviser.
“It looks like Trump won’t be impeached,” he said.
In legal circles, there is a saying that prosecutors have so much influence over grand juries that they can “show a ham sandwich.”
Kudlow then turned to his guest, Washington Times opinion editor Charlie Hurt, who agreed “it seems that way” but said he believes Trump will be charged “for something” as he attacks the US justice system for bias against the former president. .
As Mediaite observed, Kudlow’s comments came less than an hour before The New York Times reported that a grand jury had voted to indict Trump for his role in hush money payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. The payment to Daniels, made shortly before the 2016 election, was offered in exchange for keeping quiet about the alleged affair a decade earlier.
After initially indicating on his social media platform that he expected to be arrested in the case on March 21 and then spending several days fighting the investigation, Trump last week said that prosecutors may have “dropped the case” because “they have no- what.”
Trump is now the first US president in history to be criminally indicted. He is expected to turn himself in to Manhattan authorities next week, attorney Joe Tacopina told NBC News.
