Donald Trump's presidential victory is also a win as he seeks to resolve his four criminal indictments. His win may largely free Trump from dealing with his criminal cases for the foreseeable future, experts told Business Insider. Here's what will happen with Trump's four criminal cases — two federal and two state — moving forward.
Key Details
- Trump, the first US president convicted of a crime, has a November 26 Manhattan sentencing date on his calendar. There's a chance the sentencing date will be delayed.
- Prior to the election results, Michael Dorf, a Cornell Law School professor, predicted that if Trump won, he would file court papers to delay the sentencing until he's no longer president.
- Trump was indicted on two federal charges, which would be eligible for presidential pardon, though a self-pardon has never been tried.
