CNN legal analyst Ellie Hoenig has dashed her “The View” co-host’s hopes that former President Donald Trump will go to jail.
Co-host Joy Behar asked Hoenig, who was sitting in the audience, if he thought Trump would go to jail after being indicted three times. The co-organizers didn’t get the answers they were hoping for.
“Let’s ask him [Honig] Do you think Trump will go to jail? asked Behar. “It’s just yes or no.”
“Yeah, uh, no. Sorry, no,” Hoenig told co-hosts. “It doesn’t mean he won’t be convicted, but I don’t believe he will go to jail. If you’re counting on that, he’s certainly not pre-election.”
“I’ll take that bet, Ellie,” said Hostin, and Hornig accepted.
“I hope you’re wrong,” said co-host Alyssa Farrar-Griffin, who previously worked for President Trump. (Related: ‘The View’ co-host calls for constitutional change to prevent Trump from jailing)
