Trump has converted the blizzard of indictments into fundraising gold. His campaign raised $7m on the Fulton county booking last week
Donald Trump’s legal headaches have drawn one step closer to colliding with the Republican nomination calendar.
Trump’s own lawyers made sure to bring their client’s grievances into court. Twice during their presentation, the judge directed them to “take the temperature down”. Even without TV cameras present, the former guy must be reminded of his legal team’s commitment to his cause. Trump’s team probably shot their client in the foot when they referred to the government’s case as “a regurgitation of the [January 6th] committee report”. In that moment, they tacitly acknowledged that the DC indictment did not cover new ground. Trial preparation was manageable. Key information and documents were already out there.
In that same spirit, since his March 2023 indictment in Manhattan on state charges, Trump has managed to lap the Republican field. DeSantis has lost whatever traction he had hoped for. He remains in retrograde as his likability quotient shrinks. The constitutional imperative of due process and a criminal defendant’s right to help prepare his own defense will probably cause delays in the other Trump trials presently set for next year.For starters, don’t bet on the E Jean Carroll defamation case proceeding as scheduled in mid-January. Even if Trump doesn’t need to be there, his lawyers will seek to convince Judge Lewis Kaplan that a delay is required in favor of the proceedings in Washington.
