Trump could be an incoming president or already in office by the time a Fulton County jury returns its verdict in Fani Willis' RICO case.
"In Willis' case, I would be surprised if we get to trial before 2025," Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, previously told, and her delay in bringing charges likely puts her case fourth in line."
Chris Timmons, an Atlanta-based lawyer and former prosecutor, said that the amount of defendants in the election interference case will almost certainly result in lengthy delays to proceedings."It takes a while to make sure everybody's got an attorney. There's discovery that's got to be engaged in.
There is also nothing in the Constitution from stopping Trump from continuing to run for president, even if he is convicted of a crime either in the Georgia case or the other three criminal trials the former president is facing in New York, Florida, and Washington D.C.
