Donald Trump won the US presidential election, but he is still haunted by several issues that will haunt him during his term, and his victory in the White House may be an opportunity to escape the guillotine of lawsuits that are pursuing him.[/size]
[size=45]Before the presidential race, Trump was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, as well as falsifying business records, in addition to a case related to misuse of classified documents, in addition to the case of pornographic actress Stormy Daniels.[/size]
[size=45]According to Bloomberg, Trump was convicted of falsifying historical records, but the ruling was suspended based on the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.[/size]
[size=45]The case over misuse of classified documents was dismissed by a federal judge last July, and the U.S. Justice Department appealed that decision.[/size]
[size=45]As for the case of porn actress Stormy Daniels, the New York State court postponed its ruling last September.[/size]
[size=45]According to Bloomberg, Trump's ability to complete these cases before he officially assumes power next January seems slim, and if he wins the elections, he will move to drop or postpone these lawsuits.[/size]
[size=45]According to the agency, Trump assuming the presidency before rulings are issued in these cases allows him to direct the Justice Department to reject the prosecution, which makes his assumption of office an opportunity to escape the judiciary’s guillotine.[/size]
[size=45]If Trump is convicted in one of these cases before his official inauguration, he can appeal the ruling and then direct the Attorney General, in his capacity as President of the United States, not to respond to the appeal, which would result in the case being dismissed.[/size]
[size=45]This does not apply to Georgia, where prosecutors have charged Trump with seeking to overturn the results of the presidential election, nor does it apply to other states.[/size]
[size=45]After taking office as president, Trump could ask the Justice Department to ask the judge in the cases at hand to stay the proceedings while he is president and appeal to the Supreme Court if the judge refuses.[/size]
[size=45]As president of the United States, Trump can pardon crimes against the country in cases that are considered federal crimes, but he cannot grant pardons for crimes at the state level.
In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul is a Democrat and a known Trump hater, while in Georgia, the state legislature grants pardons for crimes, but only after a person has served five years of a prison sentence.[/size]
[size=45]This comes amid disagreement among legal experts about the extent to which the president can pardon himself, but former federal prosecutor John Saile said that if a judge refuses to postpone a sentence that includes a prison sentence, the Justice Department has the authority to transfer the case to a federal court and then dismiss it, adding that the president of the country with his power and influence cannot be behind bars in a state prison.[/size]
