Prosecutors have framed the trial as more than a simple case of falsifying business records — the offense with which Trump has been charged.
But the results of Trump’s pending cases — and whether they even come to trial — could help decide the tone of a future presidency.
But at the same time, Trump is using the privileges of appeals available to any defendant to their full extent.
“We’re writing a rule for the ages.”It’s always hazardous to speculate how Supreme Court justices will rule based on their questioning in oral arguments.
This could mean the case returns to lower courts for more litigation — a move that could delay the federal election trial for months, far beyond the November election.
