Are Trump's Lawyers Becoming Defendants and Witnesses?

Indictments against Trump's lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, shed light on the potential legal jeopardy faced by those who supported the former president's baseless claims of election fraud. The recent charges in Georgia accused the attorneys of violating the state's RICO Act in their efforts to overturn the election results. This is not an isolated case, as former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced to prison for various crimes committed while working for Trump, and Boris Epshteyn, another Trump attorney, testified before a grand jury in the Jan. 6 election interference case. Lawyers who have worked for Trump to challenge the election results could also face charges in the future. The pattern of prosecutors presenting evidence against Trump, his dismissal of the charges, and the rallying of Republicans to his cause is familiar. However, the impact of these cases on next year's election may be limited, as most voters have already formed their opinions on Trump. Nevertheless, Trump uses each charge as evidence of a grand conspiracy against him and claims it mandates further support, including financial contributions.
