CNN‘s Jim Acosta tweeted:

Trump doesn’t have to worry about the Senate impeachment trial because Republicans have made it clear that they will overlook anything and everything that Trump does.
The real jeopardy for Trump is in the criminal justice system. Trump’s lifetime of not paying his lawyers was the foundation for many law firms refusing to work with him, but the problem is much deeper. Donald Trump is a nightmare client who doesn’t listen. makes insane demands, and believes that he is smarter than any lawyer.
The first day of Trump’s impeachment trial was a preview of what the next few years of his life are going to be like. Donald Trump is likely to be criminally charged probably with fraud in Manhattan.
Trump’s adviser is correct. When the criminal charges finally come, Donald Trump is going to be completely F-ed.
