Former President Donald Trump will appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday afternoon, where he will be arraigned on 37 criminal charges related to the handling of classified documents after he left office. Follow here for the latest live news updates.
The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so
Well he already entered his pleas today, “Not Guilty”, and demanded (as is his right), a jury trial. The chances for a deal with the DOJ at this point are zilch, unless they can file amended charges based on a deal to enter guilty plea to some charges?
That would look way too much like partisan coercion and would absolutely blow up in Biden and the Democrats’ faces. They need to have a real iron-clad case if they’re going to make this work, which means they’ll need to prove it in court.
