Trump’s legal cases likely to die out amid impending White House return, experts say

As President-elect Donald Trump’s second term approaches, there is hope that his legal troubles may be coming to an end. Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith is working diligently to wrap up the 2020 election interference case and the classified documents case before Trump officially takes office. It has been reported that Smith is planning to resign before Trump’s inauguration in January.

However, Trump’s state cases are facing more uncertainties. In a recent development, a New York judge granted Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss charges and indefinitely postponed his sentencing. This decision came after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg requested a stay on the criminal charges related to alleged hush money payments until 2029.

Former criminal defense attorney Philip Holloway believes that Judge Juan Merchan’s ruling may be influenced by politics, as New York’s legal system is often intertwined with politics. On the other hand, Syracuse University College of Law professor Gregory Germain and Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg caution against reading too much into the decision, emphasizing that allowing Trump to file a motion does not necessarily indicate how the court will rule.

Despite differing opinions on the hush money case, legal experts agree that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against Trump for alleged election interference is likely to be dismissed. The Georgia Court of Appeals recently canceled oral arguments that were set to determine if Willis could continue prosecuting the case, leading some to speculate that a dismissal may be imminent.

While there is uncertainty surrounding the outcome of Trump’s state cases, experts believe that the Fulton County case is more likely to be dismissed. Regardless, the legal battles are far from over, and the resolution of these cases may continue well into the future.

In conclusion, as Trump’s second term approaches, there is hope that some of his legal troubles may soon come to a close. However, the outcome of his state cases remains uncertain, with experts predicting that the Fulton County case is the most likely to be dismissed. Despite the legal challenges ahead, it is clear that Trump’s legal battles are far from over.
