His 'narcissism' could put him in jail: Ex-Trump lawyer thinks he'll violate any gag order

Former President Donald Trump's one-time White House lawyer, Ty Cobb, reiterated to CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday that if the gag order issued by Judge Tanya Chutkan in the 2020 election interference case is reinstated by the D.C. Appeals Court, the former president's "narcissism" could push him over the line and land him in jail.

This came after a day of oral argument about reinstating the order, where a three-judge panel appeared broadly skeptical of Trump's lawyer.

"When you look at what Trump has said, [there's] a chance, you said, that Trump could face jail time for violating a gag order," said Burnett.

"Yes, absolutely," said Cobb, who initially made the prediction a week ago. "And I don't think his first or second violation of the gag order will find him sent to jail, but I think ultimately, you know, his narcissism will get the best of him and he'll violate it until he finds out what the limits of Judge Chutkan's patience are or is."

"I guess those limits, as you're saying, end up with what could possibly be a night or two — it's hard to imagine him in jail," said Burnett.

"That's exactly right," Cobb agreed. "The judges were frustrated with both sides a little bit today, because of, you know, the vagueties of their interpretation of the order. Using that, you know, scalpel skillfully to demonstrate what 'target' or 'targeting' actually means. And what — you know, what areas of speech are actually circumscribed by the need to avoid undermining the integrity of the judicial process. I think that task is well within the capability of these judges and Judge Chutkan."
