Donald Trump’s Victory could essentially end criminal cases against him for four years
Reportedly the united states has elected a convicted felon, donald trump, to the White House, who is still awaiting sentencing in his hush money case in New York. He was declared winner after US media projections on Wednesday. In his victory speech, trump said, “This will truly be the golden age of America". State and federal prosecutors had hoped to take their cases against trump before the election-day but his legal team deployed series of delayed tactics, which resulted in just one criminal trial in Manhattan.Perhaps according to report, Trump’s special counsel Jack Smith is in active talks with the Justice Department leadership about how to end the federal cases against Trump. New York Attorney General Letitia james filed a lawsuit against trump, his three eldest children and the trump Organization, alleging that they engaged in financial fraud by inflating property values to secure favourable loans and insurance terms. A federal appeals court had ruled in october that trump could be sued in civil court for his role in allegedly inciting the riot on Capitol Hill in january 2021. A riot broke out as lawmakers were meeting inside congress to certify President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.Moreover in the hours beforehand, trump had addressed a rally in washington dc where he urged supporters to march to the Capitol. During the violence, at least 138 Capitol and Metropolitan police officers were injured by rioters. Four police officers died from suicide in the months after the attack. The cases against trump can continue to play out as he serves his second term in the White House. During his first presidential term, trump had raised the idea of US president pardoning himself from the cases.
