Prosecutors need ‘rock-solid’ case to indict Trump, GOP election lawyer Ben Ginsberg says

Republican election lawyer Ben Ginsberg joins Margaret Hoover to discuss speaking out against his party over former President Donald Trump’s false election fraud claims and his recent testimony before the House January 6th Committee. Ginsberg, who represented GOP candidates for nearly 40 years, details the fallout from Trump’s election lies and the reforms to the 135-year-old Electoral Count Act that he believes could help avert chaos in 2024 and beyond. The attorney also assesses the work of the January 6th Committee so far, the controversial actions of Trump legal adviser John Eastman, and the possibility that the Justice Department could pursue criminal charges against the former president. Ginsberg reflects on the 2000 recount, during which he represented George W. Bush’s campaign, as well as other disputed elections in recent decades, and the responsibility he sees for both parties to restore faith in American elections.
