What Happens to Docs Case if Donald Trump Wins 2024 U.S. Presidency?
The facts in the indictment alleging Donald Trump intentionally kept hundreds of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate may be strong and straightforward, according to experts. But with the clock ticking on the 2024 presidency, is there enough time for the court to process the matter?
Joining The New Abnormal podcast this week is CNN legal analyst Elie Hoig, who says “there is just no way” that the case against him could go ahead if Trump becomes President next November and it hasn’t yet gone to trial.
Trump is facing two separate criminal cases— including 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York, as well as the federal Mar-a-Lago documents case, in which he faces 37 charges. He has pleaded not guilty to both. The New York case is scheduled to go to trial next year, but will likely delay the documents case.
