As a former federal prosecutor, “The View” host Sunny Hostin is feeling pretty optimistic that former president Donald Trump will be found guilty if the Department of Justice presses criminal charges against him. According to Hostin, they only prosecute matters with a level amount of certainty.
Hostin’s thoughts came as the panel discussed whether the Jan. 6 hearings have provided enough clear evidence to charge the twice-impeached former president criminally, and win. As guest host Lindsey Granger noted, the win needs to be pretty well assured, or the DOJ runs the risk of inflaming Trump and his base more.
“I do think that it needs to be an ironclad case,” Granger said.
