Trials are an opportunity for Donald Trump… maximum attempts to exploit
The trials that former US President Donald Trump faces impose themselves as a major item on the upcoming presidential elections next year, especially since the dates of these complex trials overlap with the timetable for entitlement, and thus confuse Trump’s campaign seeking to win the Republican nomination for the presidential elections first in the hope of winning over the Democratic candidate. Current President Joe Biden to stay in the White House.
And at a time when the case of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden, is considered the most complex and dangerous of the four charges he faces, the former president took advantage of his criminal image inside a prison in the state of Georgia, which is considered a precedent for an American president, for his benefit, following announcing that he He has managed to raise more than $7 million in donations since the photo was posted.
Trump is expected to appear before a court in Georgia on September 6 in the case of overturning the results of the 2020 elections, according to Washington federal judge Tanya Chatkin, who held a hearing in the case on Monday. Trump’s lawyers said yesterday that they have turned in most of the evidence in the case, which totals regarding 12.8 million pages.
The same judge also set March 4, 2024, as the date for the start of Trump’s criminal trial on the same charge at the federal level, not in the case once morest him in Georgia.
Finally, the federal special prosecutor, Jack Smith, had requested that the start of the trial of the forty-fifth US president on charges of conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election be set on January 2, 2024. On the other hand, Trump’s lawyers requested that the trial begin in April 2026. Almost a year and a half following the November 2024 elections, the Republican billionaire is running to seek to be the next US president for the second time.
Criminal charges have been brought once morest Trump in four cases this year; Two of them are in Washington, the third in New York, and the fourth in the state of Georgia, while he faces 91 charges across the four indictments. Trump is scheduled to stand trial next March in New York on charges of lying regarding sums of money he paid a pornographic actress to buy her silence before the 2016 elections, and next May in Florida in the case of concealing classified government documents.
Trump, along with 18 other defendants in Georgia, is also facing charges of extortion and conspiracy to overturn the results of the recent presidential elections in the southern state. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is handling the complex case, has yet to set a date for the trial to begin.
And Trump’s trial in the case of overturning the election results in the state of Georgia may be beneficial to him, according to the “Washington Post”. On the one hand, this trial will most likely be televised, and experts say that an early date may be beneficial for Trump, because Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis will have to expedite the gathering of her evidence to convict Trump, which will give the rest of the defendants in the case time to adapt their defenses according to the verdict.
In the case brought before Federal Judge Tanya Chatkin, in Washington, regarding the overturning of the 2020 results (since this case is also federal), Trump faces accusations of conspiracy once morest the American state and conspiracy to obstruct an official mechanism, due to his role in the attack that his supporters launched on the Capitol. (Congressional Headquarters) on January 6, 2021, to boycott its session to confirm Biden as president following the 2020 elections. Trump is also accused, in the framework of this case, in which he represents alone, of depriving American voters of their rights by claiming that he won the elections.
Judge Chatkin, who was appointed by former Democratic President Barack Obama, issued some of the harshest sentences once morest those involved in the attack on Congress, and Trump accused her of being “extremely politicized” and “extremely biased.”
EARS: If Trump were convicted of a criminal charge, I don’t know how people would react
“The sequence of these trials is of great importance,” said political advisor Whit Erez, to “Agence France Presse,” pointing out that “this matter will allow, if the trial continues (overturning the 2020 results) for four to six weeks, to end before Super Tuesday ( March 5, 2024), that is, before the vast majority of the electorate casts a ballot in the Republican primary.” Erez believed that if Trump was acquitted in this case, he would likely win his party’s nomination for the presidential race, in light of his current lead in opinion polls among the Republican candidates.
He added, “But if he is convicted of a serious criminal charge, I don’t know what people’s reaction will be to that, because we have never faced anything remotely similar to a situation like this.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidential elections announced yesterday, Sunday, that it had collected $ 7.1 million since publishing the criminal image of Trump following his arrest, last Thursday, for a short period and his subsequent release on bail in the state of Georgia on charges of plotting to overturn the outcome of the 2020 elections.
The campaign rushed to promote the image in which Trump appeared grim, and made it a symbol of his campaign. Campaign spokesman Stephen Chung confirmed to “Agence France Presse” that nearly $ 20 million had been collected in the past three weeks in conjunction with an indictment in Washington and Trump’s criminal image.
He added that “7.1 million have been collected since Thursday. 4.18 million yesterday (Saturday) only, which is the highest number collected in a day since the launch of the campaign.” He pointed out that the donations soared, especially following Trump posted the photo in a tweet on the “X” website (formerly Twitter), according to him.
Conversely, the Democrats used this image to indicate that no one is above the law. As for President Biden, he ignored the photo in his statements to reporters last Friday, and said jokingly: “I saw it on TV. He’s a handsome man.”
According to a new poll, conducted by the Associated Press-Nork Center for Public Affairs Research, 77 percent of Americans, who are 89 percent Republicans and 69 percent Democrats, believe that Biden (81 years) cannot be an effective president for a second term.
As for Trump, who is only a few years his junior at 77, he raises fewer concerns regarding his age, according to the poll. Knowing that regarding half of American adults consider that Trump is also old, and cannot adequately carry out the duties of office.
