“As I look ahead as a reporter, the campaign is going to come back again and again, likely to the high court, and how it’s going to consider Trump’s conduct in and around January 6th,” Costa said. “Whether it’s the immunity question, whether it’s about the January 6th defendants who have their cases coming before the Supreme Court, whether it’s about how the court’s going to proceed if Trump’s convicted in the special counsel case.”
Costa said the question would be whether Trump conspired against the United States government.
“But they had something in the special counsel’s office the January 6th Committee never had, which is subpoena power to really go deep with witnesses and not just get public testimony and some depositions,” he added. “They’ve gone deep. And I’ve talked to people who participated in this investigation as lawyers, sometimes even as witnesses.”
“And it’s evident to me, based on my conversations with sources, that Jack Smith has a sprawling case against former President Donald Trump,” he concluded.
