For the First Time Dan Abrams Predicts Trump Indictment

Dan Abrams said there is now a likelihood former President Donald Trump will be indicted over classified documents rather than possible charges stemming from numerous other ongoing investigations into him.

Abrams, who is the founder of Mediaite, noted he had not been convinced Trump would be indicted up to this point, which he has noted on his show over the past few weeks and months.

On NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live, the host discussed how the Special Master, who Trump had requested, is backfiring time and again. He cited the recent motions, rulings, and battles over the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s refusal to return them even after a subpoena was issued.

Trump has also claimed he had the authority to declassify any documents at will.

The outcome of the Georgia election interference investigation remains to be seen, but Abrams pointed out that is a state case that falls into a different category. But as Trump faces legal challenge after legal challenge, Abrams said Trump might have finally found one federal case he can’t beat.

“I’ve long said that I did not think that Donald Trump would be indicted in connection with Jan. 6,” he said. “I still believe that. I also don’t believe he’ll be indicted in connection with the attorney general of New York’s criminal referral.”

Abrams added:

But I’m starting to believe that he very well may get indicted over these documents. Not for retaining them, but for refusing to turn them over after a subpoena was issued. I’d said previously, I thought there was maybe a 40% chance – meaning it was a close call, and if it is close, Trump is not helping his case with the claims of evidence planting and mental declassification.

That could now be pushing a divided DOJ over the hump. So, I’m now at the point where I believe maybe there’s a 60% chance he gets indicted. But just making up these numbers.

Abrams’ prediction came hours after Trump lost an effort in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to halt the use of the classified documents in the investigation, and as Trump’s special master in the case asked his attorneys to prove his claims, he both declassified all documents in his possession and to identify which, if any, documents the FBI potentially planted in his home during an August FBI raid.
