Trump's Re-Election Raises Legal Immunity Issues

Donald Trump made history by being re-elected as U.S. president despite facing multiple legal challenges, including several criminal indictments. His victory marks a significant political comeback, making him the first U.S. president to win two non-consecutive terms since 1897. In New York, Trump was convicted of falsifying business records, and the case may be paused due to presidential immunity considerations, with Judge Juan Merchan ruling on the claims soon. Special counsel Jack Smith is considering winding down two federal cases against Trump due to a DOJ policy prohibiting the prosecution of sitting presidents, while Trump's legal team is expected to argue for the dismissal of state cases based on presidential immunity. Trump's election raises significant implications for his ongoing legal battles and the intersection of presidential immunity with the judicial process.
