Former US president Donald Trump has received 34 felony charges against him but “nobody is concerned” about him going to jail, says former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
“They seem, even from the most liberal commentator’s perspective, to be very, very weak charges – these are charges that would ordinarily be misdemeanours,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson.
“While that, yes they are certainly criminal charges, I don’t think anybody’s seriously concerned about Donald Trump going to jail after his indictments were released today.”
