The Implications of Trump's Trial and Potential Conviction.
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has claimed he is being targeted by a nonpartisan special prosecutor for political reasons and vowed to retaliate against President Joe Biden if he is elected president in 2024. Trump's attacks on the justice system are the latest step in an eight-year campaign by the former president and his allies against the traditions and institutions that have helped maintain American democracy. The federal charges against Trump come two months after the Manhattan District Attorney’s office charged him with 34 counts of falsifying business information in arranging payments to a porn star who said she had an affair with him.
