Former Mueller investigation prosecutor Andrew Weissman walked through how a mob trial works — and the lessons applicable from that to the cases against former President Donald Trump — in an interview on Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's "The Beat."
This comes as the former president faces four separate criminal trials, at least three of which could have significant witness testimony from members of his inner circle, particularly the Georgia election racketeering case.
"Talking about the link between John Gotti and Donald Trump," said anchor Ari Melber, himself an attorney. "Explain to us what you do as a prosecutor if you have someone like Donald Trump, it is a defendant and he is attacking witnesses and has been gagged over that partially. 'I Forgotti' is a memorable time where witness tampering appeared to work."
