Huff Post - A former Watergate prosecutor has explained the possible legal consequences of the Manhattan district attorney’s reported investigation into allegations that the Trump Organization falsified business records. Lawyer Nick Akerman warned on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In” how, unlike the federal probes, it could end up with President Donald Trump being indicted while still in office.
“The big difference here is that Cy Vance is the local prosecutor,” said Akerman, who was a Watergate assistant special prosecutor under Leon Jaworski and Archibald Cox.
Vance “is the state prosecutor in New York County. So he is not concerned with federal crimes. He’s concerned with state crimes,” Akerman explained.
