Four criminal cases are pending against Republican candidate Donald Trump in the US election. they are facing permanent resignation after he emerged victorious in last Tuesday’s presidential election because the Justice Department will not be able to prosecute him once he takes office.

Smith is prosecuting cases alleging incitement of the January 2021 attack on the Capitol in Washington, D.C., as well as mishandling of classified documents in Florida, which have recently stalled and are burdened by a Supreme Court decision that granted partial presidential immunity to Trump.

The secret documents case was already looking bad after a Trump-appointed judge threw it out, finding Smith’s appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland unconstitutional because he was not appointed by the president and not ratified by Congress.

Special Prosecutor Smith was threatened during the Trump campaign, who assured that he planned to fire him immediately and that “he should be sent out of the country,” while fellow Republican Mike David urged him on the same election night to “get a lawyer.” “

The most pressing case is that of New York.

The most pressing case involving Trump is the New York case, awaiting sentencing after the jury found him guilty of 34 counts of forgery business records to cover up a past sex scandal during the 2016 election campaign.

According to the chain cnnwhich cites a source familiar with the Trump v. Lawyers defense strategy.will submit a petition to Merchan in the coming days which argues that the elected president has the same constitutional rights as the sitting president, and therefore He must be protected from the actions of prosecutors.

A fourth criminal case in Georgia alleging interference in the 2020 election shows no sign of moving forward before the inauguration, hampered by an affair between prosecutors that led to the resignation of one of them and a defense complaint in the district. Fani Williams’ attorney is resigning.

Trump and his lawyers have always believed that all of these cases, despite their diversity, are part of what they qualify as “witch hunt” by the prosecutor’s office, obeying its democratic sympathies.
