Ex-White House lawyer says Trump’s in more trouble over Jan. 6 than Mar-a-Lago

Driving the news: “I think the president is in serious legal water, not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he took in connection with the Jan. 6 proceeding,” Cobb told CBS News. “That was the first time in American history that a president unconstitutionally attempted to remain in power illegally.”

• He said that Trump violated the Consitution by giving comfort to the Jan. 6 rioters, and for the "three hours of inaction with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol."
• “That clearly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists,” he told CBS News.
• Cobb said the FBI's investigation into the documents is likely focusing on crimes related to Jan. 6 and trying to overturn the 2020 election.

Flashback: Cobb is another Trump ally to hint that the walls may be closing in on the former president.

• William Barr, who was the attorney general under Trump, said the Department of Justice is "getting very close" to having enough evidence to indict Trump, per CNBC.
• Donald Trump's former attorney Alan Dershowitz said last week that the DOJ has enough evidence to indict Trump, but he doesn't expect it to happen, Axios reports.

What's next: Cobb told CBS he thinks Trump's actions related to Jan. 6 could bar him from running for president.
