[MAIL] A renowned law professor has described President Trump's indictment as being a 'different ball game' to Stormy Daniels case - and warns the former president could be in very deep trouble. Jonathan Turley, a criminal defense attorney and Shapiro Chair of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, had previously branded Manhattan AG Alvin Bragg's Stormy Daniels case as both 'politically popular' but 'legally pathetic'.
But when it comes to the classified documents found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago, Turley has said the charges laid out are 'extremely damning.' He highlighted the sheer level of detail in the 37 felony count case, and suggested it showed the feds had an extremely strong case against Trump.
'It is an extremely damning indictment. There are indictments that are sometimes called narrative or speaking indictments. These are indictments that are really meant to make a point as to the depth of the evidence. There are some indictments that are just bare bones. This is not,' Turley said to Fox News on Friday.
'The special counsel knew that there would be a lot of people who were going to allege that the Department of Justice was acting in a biased or politically motivated way. This is clearly an indictment that was drafted to answer those questions.
