Donald Trump is involved in multiple court casesbut his election on Wednesday November 6 may allow him to obtain a certain respite. The billionaire has only one legal meeting on his agenda: November 26. That day, Donald Trump is supposed to receive his sentence in the Stormy Daniels affair for which he was already found guilty on May 30.
In theory, for having disguised $130,000 paid to the porn actress in 2016 as legal fees, Donald Trump risks up to four years in prison. But the conviction of an elected president before his inauguration would be unprecedented. The hearing, already twice postponed, will undoubtedly be postponed indefinitely.
Donald Trump says he wants to “fire” prosecutor Jack Smith
Donald Trump will also be able to bury the two lawsuits brought against him at the federal level. The possession of classified documents in his home and especially the insurrection against the Capitol. In both cases, it is special prosecutor Jack Smith who is in charge. “After my oath, I fire him in two seconds“, Donald Trump said a few days ago.
Finally, there remains his indictment for having wanted to reverse the result of the 2020 election in Georgia, a state which he then lost by a breath to Joe Biden. His lawyer should request a suspension of the proceedings on the pretext that justice cannot attack a sitting president. By winning the election, Donald Trump won four years of legal relief.
