Social Media Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Former President Donald Trump's legal battles are intensifying as he faces an impending trial regarding hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Reports suggest that Trump may resort to drastic measures, including potentially firing his legal team, in a bid to delay proceedings. This move, indicative of growing desperation, underscores the gravity of the situation surrounding the former president. The trial, slated to commence in two weeks, revolves around allegations of Trump falsifying business records to conceal payments made to Daniels, allegedly to keep an extramarital affair secret prior to the 2016 election. Prosecutors led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg assert that these payments were part of a larger scheme to suppress damaging stories about Trump. Legal analyst Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney, highlighted Trump's purported desperation in a recent blog post. She suggested that Trump might seek Judge Juan Merchan's recusal from the case or consider dismissing his legal counsel as last-ditch efforts to postpone the trial. However, such maneuvers could face challenges, as defendants have the right to choose their legal representation, and judges are cautious about eleventh-hour changes that may appear manufactured. Judge Merchan has already taken steps to maintain the integrity of the trial by imposing a gag order against Trump following disparaging comments directed at the judge and his family. Trump's public attacks on Merchan's daughter, coupled with calls for the judge's recusal, underscore the contentious nature of the legal proceedings. In addition to the hush money trial, Trump is grappling with three other criminal indictments. These include allegations of conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and accusations of obstructing law enforcement's attempts to retrieve classified documents upon leaving office. Throughout these cases, Trump has steadfastly maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all charges. As the legal battles intensify, Trump finds himself embroiled in a complex web of litigation that could have significant implications for his political future and personal reputation. The outcome of these trials remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Donald Trump's legal woes show no signs of abating anytime soon. 02.04.24 Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Or Trump may claim he's sick, to delay the trial. On the other hand, its possible his attorneys are telling him that he can win the case. We don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Merchan's opinion apparently ignored several important points of law. For example, it seems to contradict the U.S. Supreme Court's body of cases which limit criminal fraud cases to depriving traditional property interests such as money, not something ephemeral. That's assuming there actually was an intent to defraud, because the only person whom the incorrect labeling affected was Trump himself. https://www.newsweek.com/alvin-braggs-case-against-trump-should-have-been-dismissed-opinion-1870620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chomper Higgot Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Trump has already filed for a delay. His lawyers laughably argue that the trial should be delayed because of the high publicity the case is receiving and that the publicity is only going to increase. Which is a great argument to expedite the trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
