Donald Trump has most likely managed to push off having to face criminal trial until after the election, but Judge Tanya Chutkan has restarted proceedings in Trump's federal election subversion case and an evidentiary hearing could still give Trump problems ahead of the election.
Former President Donald Trump’s effort to dodge accountability for his crimes is still going strong. It’s not just his unhinged campaign for president, which represents an attempt to avoid prison. He has also continued pushing for delays in all four criminal cases against him, most recently demanding his criminal sentencing in Manhattan be delayed until after the election.
” Criminal appeals are generally decided after defendants are sentenced. There is no reason here to divert from that well-established practice that ensures the prompt and orderly administration of justice. No other defendant would be allowed this pause. Neither should Trump be if we are to live up to the American principle that no one is above the law. Trump’s other arguments fare no better.
