Conservative lawyer George Conway says we could see three Trump indictments.
Conway says these indictments are likely to come in Georgia and over the Mar-a-Lago case.
Conway also said Trump could be indicted in New York over the Stormy Daniels hush money payments case.
Conservative lawyer and pundit George Conway says we might see several indictments of former President Donald Trump.
Conway told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday that he puts “the over under” on three Trump indictments. Conway also outlined the three cases he believes Trump will get indicted for.
The first is an investigation in Georgia helmed by District Attorney Fani Willis, who is probing whether Trump had a role in trying to overturn the 2020 election results in that state.

Conway was married to Kellyanne Conway, a senior Trump aide, for 22 years. The two announced earlier this month that they are splitting up.
Trump congratulated Kellyanne Conway after the announcement, writing on Truth Social: “Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her DIVORCE from her wacko husband, Mr. Kellyanne Conway. Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck.”
Trump and George Conway have had an acrimonious past. In one tweet in 2019, Trump referred to Conway as a “husband from hell.”
