FOX LiveNOW: Political Analyst Andrew Lieb Discusses Trump Preparing To Surrender

In his latest interview on LiveNOW from Fox, legal analyst Andrew Lieb provided commentary on the criminal cases facing former President Donald Trump. 
  • Lieb broke down the charges in the Georgia case, including the RICO charge alleging Trump and others formed a criminal enterprise to try to change the lawful election results. Fake elector documents and pressure on officials are also part of the allegations.
  • The terms of Trump's release in Georgia notably include prohibitions on intimidating witnesses through social media posts, indicating this may be an area of focus for prosecutors.
  • Upcoming dates include an arraignment the week of September 5th and Lieb questioned whether an October trial date will hold given issues around defendant requests for separate trials.

Lieb believes the Georgia case has the biggest scope of allegations and will be the most watched criminal trial in U.S. history given cameras will be allowed in the courtroom.

Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Analyzes Legal Issues Surrounding Trump Investigations

On a recent Newsmax interview, attorney and political analyst Andrew Lieb weighed in on the legal implications of ongoing investigations into former President Donald Trump. 

Lieb said that Mark Meadows is set for a Monday hearing in the removal of his case to federal court, which could be a telling sign, where evidence presented will likely include the subpoenaed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.


He cautioned against rushing to judgment until more facts are known. 

Overall, Lieb emphasized the importance of allowing the legal processes to play out and examining evidence before making determinations about the validity of charges.




FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb on Giuliani, Trump, and Republican Debate

During a recent interview on LiveNOW from FOX, legal expert Andrew Lieb discussed the ongoing criminal charges involving Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, along with that investigation's impact on the Republican Debate. Here's a summary of the key points:
  • Prior to his arrest, a $150K bond amount for Giuliani was agreed upon through a "consent" process.
  • Trump is entangled in various legal battles, one of which is in Georgia, where he's accused of running a "criminal enterprise" to challenge the 2020 election results using false claims and pressuring officials.
  • The Georgia trial will be broadcasted, allowing the public to observe the proceedings without bias.
  • A recent document submission by Jack Smith suggests that the investigation in DC has led to a new witness, referred to as "employee 4," who decided to cooperate after seeking independent legal advice.
Lieb commented on the cases' gravity, stating, "The felonies being discussed come with significant jail time... In terms of evidence, there's conclusive proof in the Florida case."

FOX LiveNOW: Political Commentator Andrew Lieb Analyzes Trump Surrender

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins LIVENOW from FOX to discuss the latest legal and political updates for Donald Trump. Trump faces 91 felony charges across 4 jurisdictions - New York, DC, Florida, and Georgia. 

  • Andrew Lieb predicts the charges in Florida have the most full-proof evidence against Trump, where Trump is recorded admitting documents were not declassified and showing classified documents to others, including war plans with Iran. 
  • "Flipping" witnesses who make deals for immunity or lesser charges in exchange for testimony against others will be key. An IT employee at Mar-a-Lago has already "flipped" and says they were told to delete security footage.
  • The cases against Trump could take years to play out through trials and appeals. Picking a jury for the RICO case alone may take 6 months.
  • Trump may try to delay proceedings until a potential 2024 presidential run, but he'll have trouble campaigning while in court. Lieb thinks Trump will eventually take a plea deal if co-defendants flip.

"Statistically speaking, if I said, our friend, Rachel had 91 charges against her, it's not statistically probable that she's gonna get acquitted on all 91 of them." - Andrew Lieb
