Trump’s trials: Recent court delays could boost his election chances

LA Times  

Former President Trump in court during his civil fraud trial in New York on Jan. 11 in New York. Here’s what’s going on with the cases as primary elections ramp up across the nation, and what to expect in the weeks ahead: Supreme Court reviewing presidential immunity By agreeing to take up a question of presidential immunity this week, the Supreme Court dealt a severe blow to special counsel Jack Smith’s plans to prosecute Trump anytime soon for actions related to his attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election. New York civil fraud suit Meanwhile in New York on Wednesday, Associate Justice Anil C. Singh in the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division rejected a request from Trump to accept a $100-million bond or delay enforcement of a fine totaling at least $450 million while he appeals. New York hush money case With the delay caused by the Supreme Court taking on the presidential immunity question, the first felony case Trump is expected to face will be about whether he falsified business records to cover up his lawyer Michael Cohen’s $130,000 payment in the final days of the 2016 campaign to adult film actor Stormy Daniels for her silence about a 2006 sexual encounter she says she had with Trump. After a whirlwind seven weeks of hearings full of salacious details, text messages and fiery appeals, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee heard closing arguments on Friday about whether the relationship warrants disqualifying the entire district attorney’s office from pursuing charges against Trump and his supporters for trying to overthrow the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
