Conservative Pundit Says 4 Things Show It’s ‘Gotten Very, Very Real’ For Trump

Conservative commentator Charlie Sykes on Monday broke down four developments in the federal investigation into Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents that show how things just got “very, very real” for the former president.

“The sound just got real, didn’t it?” MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace asked Sykes, the founder of The Bulwark news network.

“There’s a lot we don’t know about this investigation, there’s a lot that’s still shrouded,” the expert admitted.

But Sykes then highlighted a judge’s ruling that prosecutors could strike through claims of attorney-client privilege in the case; the significance of special counsel Jack Smith’s involvement in a meeting between Justice Department officials and Trump lawyers; the reconvening of the grand jury in the investigation; and the fact that Trump is “losing his mind” on social media with “Mar-a-Lago all-caps screeds.”

“These are all scraps of evidence,” he said. “We don’t know what the prosecutors will do. We don’t know what the charges will be, what the headline will be. But we know it got very, very real.

The former president remains under criminal investigation for trying to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia and for his role in the January 6 riot. He is also expected to stand trial in 2024 in the Stormy Daniels bribery investigation.
