Trump should not face trial in Georgia if he wins 2024 election, lawyer says

By Andrew Goudsward
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A lawyer for Donald Trump said on Friday that the former U.S. president should not face trial on charges that he sought to overturn the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia if he wins the election next year.
The remarks by the lawyer, Steven Sadow, came as the judge overseeing the case wrestled with how to set a trial date given Trumps other legal entanglements and the looming campaign next year. Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
Sadow said that if Trump wins the election, he would seek to postpone the trial until after he left office, arguing that it would interfere with his responsibilities as president.
Trump, who faces four simultaneous state and federal criminal prosecutions, has repeatedly sought to delay the cases against him until after the Nov. 5, 2024, election. Sadows remarks show how Trump could use his campaign and a possible second four-year term in office to delay those cases, even in state courts where he would be unable to pardon himself and would not have control over the prosecutions.

(8,103 posts)he won't need to delay any trial, because he will become our first dictator. The only measure of justice he will need is how to cleverly disguise a pretend election. The safest thing for him to do is never leave office, which apparently he tried to do the first time. We'll be in deep doo doo if he gets reelected.

(27,749 posts)the bounds of ethics and decency with such a blatantly political stance. Or maybe its just greed, assuming Trump actually pays him for his services.
