Attorney General Eric Holder believes that former president Donald Trump and his White House officials will probably face criminal charges for trying to alter the 2020 United States presidential election.
According to a recent article published by CNBC, “Holder, who led the Justice Department during the Obama administration, made those predictions during an interview with the SiriusXM Urban View satellite radio show Joe Madison The Black Eagle.”
The outlet adds that at one point, “Madison asked Holder whether he would seek to indict Trump if he still were attorney general.” Holder then replied saying, “My guess is that by the end of this process, you’re going to see indictments involving high-level people in the White House, you’re going to see indictments against people outside the White House who were advising them with regard to the attempt to steal the election.”
He continued, “And I think ultimately, you’re probably going to see the president, former president of the United States, indicted as well.”

CNBC reports that the Justice Department is “presenting evidence and testimony before two federal grand juries in Washington, D.C..” One federal grand jury is focusing on “a plan by Trump’s lawyers and others to have so-called fake electors claim that the then-Republican incumbent won the election in their individual states.” Meanwhile, another federal grand jury is investigating the events that occurred within the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot timeline.
During the interview, Holder said that he expects “to see the pace of this investigation or these investigations pick up.” Likewise, we’ll definitely stay tuned for updates!
