According to a professor at Harvard Law School, his former student will indict Donald Trump over the insurrection.
After testimony was delivered during the House Select Committee's latest hearing, Tribe made a prediction.
Tribe was asked if he thought the DOJ would indict Trump.
I wish I knew, but Garland is a friend of mine. Tribe said that he was an honest man. He said he would go to the top if the evidence pointed that way.
Recent searches by federal agents, including the seizure of former Trump lawyer John Eastman's phone, show that the Justice Department is not stopping with the foot soldiers. Donald Trump is the biggest general of all time.
Tribe thinks that he will be indicted. "If I had to guess, that would be my guess," Tribe said after being asked if Garland would bring an indictment against Trump.
According to the January 6 committee, there is enough evidence to indict Trump.
The committee is likely to indict Trump on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government, obstruction of an official proceeding, wire fraud, and witness tampering.
Trump could mount a strong defense, according to experts.
If he were to indict Trump, Tribe said he would be worried about the possibility of a hung jury. He was concerned about the potential for unrest if an indictment were to be issued.
He acknowledged that indicting a former president would cause a lot of social heat. Not indicting him would cause more violence.
