Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner alleged that former President Donald Trump is “on the hook for treason” for his actions on and leading up to January 6, 2021.
The House select committee investigating the pro-Trump attack against the U.S. Capitol —as well as the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results—is holding publicly televised hearings outlining the evidence and witness testimony the probe has compiled. Hundreds of Trump supporters attacked the federal legislative branch of government on January 6 in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden‘s Electoral College victory.
Kirschner, a legal analyst for MSNBC and NBC News, gave an update on his assessment of the evidence being laid out by the House committee in an interview with The Dean Obeidallah Show on Wednesday.
“The evidence is all there,” he said. “They’re proving all of Donald Trump’s crimes with almost exclusively Republican voices—Republican witnesses.”
