Trump's Future: Presidency or Prison?

Donald Trump has vowed to continue running for president even if he is convicted as part of the 37-count federal felony indictment issued against him this week. He criticized the special counsel and argued that the case against him was politically motivated and flimsy. Trump predicted he would not be convicted and said he did not anticipate taking a plea deal, though he left open the possibility of doing so “where they pay me some damages.” He sidestepped the possibility that he would pardon himself should he win the presidency in 2024.
