Judge Chutkan has a good shot at a Trump trial even if he is re-elected: experts

Raw Story  

Appearing on CNN on July 4th, two attorneys said a reported Justice Department decision to pursue criminal charges against Donald Trump even if he is re-elected in November could result in a trial and possibly a conviction before he is sworn in in January. Speaking with holiday fill-in host Yamiche Alcindor, legal analyst Terri Austin and defense attorney Misty Marris claimed they expect the DOJ to go "full steam ahead" and try and get a conviction which could complicate Inauguration Day. before cautioning, "Now, again, because we're in uncharted territory, of course, you would see the defense side challenging that and making the argument that even though the president-elect is not technically the president of the United States until inaugurated, he does take on some aspects of the presidency during that time frame like security clearances, participates in briefings, so that's enough to preclude him from being prosecuted during that time frame. That led Austin to add, "Don't forget, we have the New York case, and we could have a sentence before the inauguration date in that case, and I think we will have a sentence before Inauguration Day." "So I think that that's going to be done quickly, and I think we will be able to get a trial even before inauguration.
