The Big Legal Threats Trump Will Face If He Loses the Election
October 23, 2020
President Trump has more at stake in this election than whether he remains in the White House. Holding the highest office in the land grants him effective immunity from federal criminal prosecution and gives him wide powers to stymie lawsuits against him and his business. That all changes once he becomes an ordinary citizen again.
“Whatever shelters he has had as an occupant of the White House would vanish,” says Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard and frequent Trump critic. “His ability to throw his weight around in terms of the deference that judges exercise—all of that is gone.”
Here are the major legal threats facing Trump, and how a defeat in November would affect them:
Possible Criminal Charges
Obstruction of Justice
Campaign Finance Violations
Federal Tax Charges
New York State Tax Charges
Trump Inc.
Real-Estate Fraud
The Emoluments Cases
Congressional Tax and Financial Records Cases
Multi-Level Marketing Fraud Suit
Personal Conduct
Mary Trump’s Fraud Suit
E. Jean Carroll’s Defamation Suit
Summer Zervos’s Defamation Suit
