Do Any of the Four Legal Cases Against Trump Matter?

Of the four legal cases pending against former President Trump, which is the most likely to see a courtroom or end in a guilty verdict? Andy runs through the drama at Mar-a-Lago, the criminal investigation in Georgia, the January 6 madness, and the scrutiny of the Trump Organization’s business practices with two legal experts: the Brookings Institution's Benjamin Wittes and Loyola Law School’s Jessica Levinson. They rank the four cases in order of legal liability, discuss what’s going on inside the Justice Department, and predict how a guilty or not guilty verdict would impact our society.
