0:42Now PlayingSen. Bill Cassidy described the federal case against former President Donald Trump over his retention of classified national security documents as “almost a slam dunk” on Sunday — and for a second time urged the Republican front-runner to drop out of the 2024 race.
The Louisiana Republican, who voted to convict Trump following the 45th president’s impeachment over his attempts to reverse his 2020 electoral loss, said the 40-count indictment brought against him in South Florida by special counsel Jack Smith was “a very strong case.”
“They have a tape recording of him speaking of it,” Cassidy told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “If that is proven, then we may have a candidate for president who has been convicted of a crime.”
“I think [President] Joe Biden needs to be replaced, but I don’t think Americans will vote for someone who’s been convicted,” added Cassidy. “So, I’m just very sorry about how all this is playing out.”
Trump, 77, is facing 91 criminal counts in two federal cases, one state case and one municipal case — amounting to a maximum sentence of 712 years and six months if he is convicted on all charges.
