'Future jurors' will be more likely to convict Trump after N.Y. guilty verdicts: expert

Donald Trump's first criminal conviction is likely to enable a snowball effect when it comes to guilty verdicts in future trials, according to a legal analyst.

Legal expert Norm Eisen, who worked in the White House as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform, was featured in an interview on No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, published on Sunday.

The host asked Eisen if the first jury, which voted unanimously to hold Trump accountable on business records fraud charges, created a "permission structure" for future criminal juries. Trump faces at least three other criminal charges, with others potentially on the horizon.

"The news of this case and the verdict was so loud that future jurors notice it," he said in the interview, adding that the "question is, when are we going to get those cases?"

Eisen went on to describe how Trump's other trials have been delayed, including via a petition to the Supreme Court about a new level of "presidential immunity" that isn't present in the Constitution.

"Trump's enablers on the Supreme Court should have rejected it like all the other courts did, and instead they are taking months," the expert added. "They've taken five months to consider whether a president can order political assassinations with Seal Team 6."

"It's outrageous," he then added.

"But yes, I do think it moves the Overton window - what's acceptable, what's possible," he said. "Now we know, hey, a jury can hold a president, or former president, accountable."
