Trump’s Criminal Cases Have All But Vanished Ahead of Election: Voters Will Be ‘Jury’

The criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have not done anything to slow his campaign as many of them have started to fall apart.

As judges have begun to levy pre-trial decisions on the criminal cases he has left the cases are starting to collapse and the former president’s attorneys have been successful in their pursuit of stalling the cases to beyond Election Day.

“It’s remarkable that none of them have had any significant impact,” Philip Holloway, a criminal defense attorney and legal analyst said to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “In the end, it looks like Trump is going to do very, very well in all of these cases, especially considering how many of them there were.”

The only case that has gone to trial and gotten a conviction against the former president has been the hush money case involving adult movie actress Stormy Daniels brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

But even that case has hit a snag as the judge in the case, Judge Juan Merchan, has postponed sentencing until after the election.

“The imposition of sentence will be adjourned to avoid any appearance—however unwarranted—that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate,” the judge said.

The legal analyst said that the verdict could still “very well be overturned on appeal.”

And the Supreme Court ruling that sided with the former president on many of his claims of presidential immunity has stifled Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s case on federal election interference case in Washington, D.C.

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who decided not to dismiss the case after the former president’s claims of immunity in December, has now set a timeline that pushes the start of the trial past the election.

“I’m risking reversal no matter what I do,” she said during a hearing on Sept. 5.

After she set the schedule, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on X that the verdict would involve the largest jury in history.

“That could make this election the largest jury verdict in history since a Trump victory would make any trial unlikely,” he said. “Jack Smith may never see a jury in the case.”
