Prosecuting Trump for hush money undermines more serious investigations
In the Boston Globe, I argue that the coming arrest of Donald Trump is legally flawed and will undermine the more serious investigations into January 6:
"A New York grand jury is poised to indict former president Donald Trump for lying about paying off a porn star. Trump’s critics, who have pinned their hopes on criminal probes going back to alleged Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, may welcome the unprecedented prosecution of a former president. But the prosecution may prove to be a mistake. It faces severe legal problems and may distract from more important investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol."
