Trump's Legal Battles: Status Update as Inauguration Approaches
TL;DR
President-elect Trump, the first convicted felon to win the presidency, has seen his legal cases stall following his reelection. Prosecutors have requested dismissals in several cases, including the federal election interference and classified documents cases, due to Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Trump's Georgia election interference case is paused pending an appeal, and his New York hush money case sentencing is indefinitely postponed. Trump's legal team is also seeking to dismiss the New York case entirely.
