Trump still faces three other ongoing criminal cases. They’re a long way off from being resolved.
If his appeal succeeds, it means former President Donald Trump is unlikely to face criminal consequences before the 2024 election. | Seth Wenig/APDonald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in New York gave way to a stark reality: The former president’s pre-election odyssey through the criminal justice system may have come to an end.
Though there are still three criminal cases pending in Washington, D.C., Florida and Georgia, Trump is poised to face voters before he comes close to any trial on the graver charges prosecutors leveled in those cases.That dynamic began to dawn the instant the word “guilty” was rattled off in court on charges that Trump falsified business records to hide his efforts to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from disclosing their alleged affair.
The New York result is a vindication of sorts for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who once seemed unlikely to charge Trump at all and later seemed likely to postpone his case to make room for the federal ones brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Yet Smith’s two cases both seem unlikely to advance before November. If Trump is elected, they’re all but certain to unravel entirely. In one, Trump is charged with seeking to disenfranchise millions of voters in order to seize power in 2020 despite losing reelection. In the other, Trump is charged with stashing some of the nation’s most sensitive military secrets in his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House and then seeking to obstruct the government from reclaiming them.
