Glenn Kirschner, a legal analyst for MSNBC and a former federal prosecutor, floated the idea that President Trump could be charged with on "some level of negligent homicide or voluntary/involuntary manslaughter" because of the U.S. government's response to COVID-19, also known as the Wuhan coronavirus.
Kirschner explained in a Twitter thread on Tuesday that when he worked Chief of the Homicide Section at the D.C. US Attorney’s Office, "I was always on the lookout for novel ways to apply homicide liability in an attempt to appropriately and ethically hold accountable those who were responsible for taking the life of a fellow human being."
"I think it’s fair to observe that there’s nothing more devastating to a family then losing a loved one to ether violent crime or to an illness that could have been prevented or mitigated. I’m trying to assimilate all available evidence (rapidly developing and being reported every day) to fairly assess whether Trump and his administration may have acted/failed to act in a way that could give rise to homicide liability," he said.
