Former President Donald Trump will likely grow more aggressive as his legal battles play out alongside his reelection bid, said legal analyst Andrew Weissmann.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has three pending criminal indictments against him as he vies for another shot at the White House. The charges range from state-level racketeering accusations in Georgia to violations of the Espionage Act related to his handling of classified documents found at his personal estate in Florida.
Trump is also accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and he made history in May by becoming the first former U.S. president to be criminally convicted in the Manhattan hush-money case. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him and claims the indictments are an attempt to "interfere" with his reelection campaign.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, Weissmann, a law professor at New York University and a former FBI general counsel, said that Trump's plethora of legal woes were likely adding pressure ahead of November, and warned that the stress would lead to a "more violent" version of Trump.
It is unclear if Trump will face jail time for any of the charges against him. In his felony conviction in Manhattan, where he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment to a porn star during the 2016 election, each charge is a class E felony, which under New York law carries as maximum prison sentence of four years.
Trump is currently set to face sentencing in the case on September 18.

I hope the FBI etc. are monitoring all the nut channels so they are ready for the Battle of New York, scheduled for 18 September.
