Rep. Adam Schiff: Trump Faces The ‘Real Prospect Of Jail Time’

Emily Zanotti

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who is set to take over the House Intelligence Committee when Democrats reclaim the House of Representatives in January, told Face the Nation Sunday morning that he believes President Donald Trump faces the “prospect” of “real jail time” after prosecutors accused the president of directing his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to issue payments to two of the president’s alleged former mistresses.

“”There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him,” Schiff said. “That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time.”
