NewsNation host and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams argued that it would be a “big mistake” both legally and politically to indict former President Donald Trump over the Stormy Daniels hush money scandal.

Abrams led his show on Monday night by discussing the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s potentially indicting Trump for breaking campaign finance law with the plot to pay Daniels off and legally prohibit her from speaking about their affair. To explain why he thinks an indictment would be a legal and political mistake, Abrams began by noting that the DA’s office is trying to charge Trump for the scandal under state law, years after federal prosecutors already decided not to do so.

“But that’s just part of the problem,” Abrams said.
