Since it is a state case, Trump does not have the power to pardon himself next year after he is sworn into office. Federal cases in DC and FloridaTrump’s election victory is poised to have the greatest impact on the two federal criminal cases brought against him by Smith in Washington, DC, and Florida. Dismissing Smith would allow the Department of Justice and Trump’s attorney general to move to drop the charges against him and end the court cases. In the DC case, Smith charged Trump over his efforts to overturn his election loss in 2020. In September, state and federal appeals courts in New York heard arguments for two of Trump’s civil appeals.

CNN —A hearing that could derail the election subversion case against Donald Trump and others in Georgia is underway as a judge considers whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified. It’s unclear if another prosecutor in Georgia would even be inclined to take up the case from Willis, given its political and legal challenges. Wade and Willis acknowledged in court filings that they had a personal relationship but deny any wrongdoing. McAfee called for the hearing Thursday to “establish the record on those core allegations” against Willis and Wade and their relationship. “We are focusing on what the judge asked us to show him – the personal and financial benefits that Willis got from Wade,” Merchant told CNN.

Mark Meadows, White House chief of staff, listens to a question from a member of the media outside of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020. A federal judge denied former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' request for an emergency stay of a ruling that sent his Georgia election interference case back to state court, a court filing showed Wednesday. Meadows, former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff, had asked U.S. District Judge Steve Jones to pause his ruling pending an appeal in a higher court. Jones on Friday had denied Meadows' initial bid to move the sweeping Georgia RICO case out of Fulton County and into federal court. Meadows, argued Willis, is seeking a benefit that is aimed at protecting federal authority against interference by the state.

☆ How Donald Trump Could Attack Georgia RICO Prosecution

Former President Donald Trump is facing four separate indictments at both state and federal levels. WSJ breaks down each of the indictments and what they mean for his 2024 presidential campaign. Photo Illustration: Annie ZhaoThe anti-racketeering law used against Donald Trump in Georgia is a powerful tool for prosecutors, but legal observers say the former president and his 18 co-defendants have several strategic plays they could use in attempting to beat charges that they conspired to overturn the 2020 election.

Donald Trump might make new campaign merch soon — featuring his Georgia mugshot. But New York doesn't make mugshots public like Georgia does, so the Trump campaign had to get creative. Immediately following that first New York indictment, the Trump campaign started advertising a new T-shirt featuring a clearly fake mugshot of the former President emblazoned with the words "NOT GUILTY." (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Now that he has the public mugshot he wanted, Trump's team might swap out the fake mugshot on his campaign merch for the real one. On Thursday, Trump rolled out a fundraising plea entirely based on the Georgia indictment and his arrest.

Lawyers for Mark Meadows asked a judge to dismiss the criminal charges against him. He faces RICO charges in Georgia for his efforts in Trump's scheme to overturn election results. His lawyers say he was just doing his job as Trump's chief of staff. Even if state officials like Willis deem his activities as breaking state law, they're consistent with federal law and therefore protected, according to his lawyers. "Even if they had, moreover, a federal official does not lose Supremacy Clause immunity based on a violation of federal law where the violation was not clear and willful."

“It’s a type of criminal liability that you can get in trouble for things that other people do,” said Ashleigh Merchant, a Georgia criminal defense attorney with experience in RICO cases. And she’ll be navigating around a federal prosecution of Trump for his 2020 election reversal schemes that has taken a much narrower approach. Here are the strengths and weaknesses of Willis’ strategy:Georgia’s sweeping RICO lawGeorgia’s version of a RICO law – which stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act – is broader than the federal counterpart. Additionally, there is not much appellate case law around the state’s RICO statute, criminal defense attorneys in Georgia told CNN. There stands to be a significant overlap in evidence – including with testimony from some of the same witnesses – in the federal and Georgia cases.

Donald Trump must surrender to Fulton County, Georgia, authorities by August 25. When you voluntarily surrender, you turn yourself in at a precinct of your own accord instead of being taken into custody by officials. In this case, Trump and his 18 allies must surrender to Fulton County authorities. Once they surrender, they will be booked and processed at the Fulton County Jail, which could include being fingerprinted and taking mugshots. In June, Trump voluntarily appeared in Miami court for arraignment after being accused of taking classified documents from the White House and bringing them to his home at Mar-a-Lago, hiding them from authorities.

Legal experts told Insider that some of them might flip on Trump and cooperate with the prosecution. "It's not surprising to see unindicted co-conspirators," Anna Cominsky, an associate professor of law and the director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at New York Law School, told Insider. She said that some unindicted co-conspirators will never be charged "for whatever reason, perhaps there they're not known. "The other reason why those individuals may not be charged is because they're cooperating," Cominsky said. "There are all kinds of reasons to do that," Tobias told Insider.

☆ What is RICO and why are prosecutors using it against Trump?
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-15 | by ( Jack Queen | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

The main requirements under the federal RICO law are at least two underlying crimes and participation in a criminal enterprise over a long period of time. WHY ARE PROSECUTORS USING RICO? That means prosecutors would not necessarily have to prove Trump personally broke the law but knowingly coordinated with others who did. RICO cases are inherently more complex because prosecutors must first prove the existence of a criminal enterprise. Prosecutors will need to prove that Trump and his co-defendants worked together towards a common criminal purpose, which is not always as straightforward as proving an underlying RICO crime.

The charges include forgery in the first degree, false statements and writing, and violating the RICO Act. If found guilty under the RICO Act, Trump could face a minimum sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 20 years and a fine. She has also used the statute against local gangs and in an ongoing 56-count RICO case against rapper Young Thug and others.
