Jesse Watters: Trump special counsel investigation will have a major impact on the GOP primary

Fox News host Jesse Watters reacts to DOJ appointing a special counsel to investigate Trump's Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 6 on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

Fox News host Jesse Watters asks about the timing of the Trump special counsel investigation on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

JESSE WATTERS: So, Trump announces he's running for president and the Republicans take the House and tee up investigations into the Biden family and suddenly a special counsel is appointed. So, who is this special counsel? His name's Jack Smith. He's a Democrat, so he'll probably hire a team of other Democrat prosecutors to investigate the former Republican president.

Now all of a sudden, the special counsel is going to arrest the former president. On what charges? The special counsel move is going to have a major impact on the Republican primary. Donald Trump's now under a lot of pressure or not.

Now, the guy's already been impeached twice. The first time he ran for president, he was under investigation by the FBI. And now he's running for president again, and he's under investigation by a special counsel. I mean, just put aside the legal warfare the left's unleashed against this guy. What are Republican primary voters supposed to do? This has to factor into the Republican primary.
