CNN legal analyst Elie Honig and Democratic Party strategist James Carville clashed over the fairness of the Trump trial following the former president's conviction.
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig and Democratic Party strategist James Carville clashed over the trial and conviction of former President Trump during dueling segments of CNN show 'Smerconish' on Saturday. Carville took a veiled dig at Honig’s critical commentary on the trial during an earlier segment of the talk show, dismissing Honig’s concern that Judge Merchan donated to a far-left, anti-Trump political organization.
The debate centered on Honig’s piece in New York Magazine that went viral Friday as it called out certain aspects of the trial that led to the conviction of former President Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. In his commentary, the legal analyst stated he respected the jury’s verdict, but accused District Attorney Alvin Bragg of bringing 'an ill-conceived, unjustified mess' of a case before an explicitly anti-Trump judge.
