Trump Reelection May Halt Federal Cases

News summary

Donald Trump's re-election as U.S. President will likely halt the federal criminal cases against him during his term, as longstanding Department of Justice policies prevent the prosecution of a sitting president. Trump, who faced charges related to hush money payments and attempts to overturn the 2020 election, plans to dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith and could order the Justice Department to drop federal charges. However, Trump does not have control over state cases, such as those in New York and Georgia, although his presidency could delay proceedings. His legal strategy has so far been to delay, which might prevent any sentencing from occurring while he is in office. Trump's supporters argue that the prosecutions are politically motivated, while critics express concern over the implications for democracy and justice. Despite being convicted of falsifying business records, Trump remains legally unpunished due to his presidential immunity and ongoing legal appeals.
