Trump may end up at Rikers Island by the end of 2023 if he loses re-election: legal experts

Salon  

If President Donald Trump loses re-election, he could find himself the first ex-president to be charged with a crime. More than a dozen investigations are already under way against Trump and his associates, so his potential legal exposure is "breathtaking," according to New York Magazine columnist Jeff Wise. "You might think, given all the crimes Trump has bragged about committing during his time in office, that the primary path to prosecuting him would involve the U.S. Justice Department," Wise wrote. "Once indicted, Trump would be arraigned at New York Criminal Court, a towering Art Deco building at 100 Centre Street," Wise wrote. "Trump's conviction would seal the greatest downfall in American politics since Richard Nixon," Wise wrote.
