Trump's Legal Cases Weakened

Unlikely Resurgence of Federal Cases

  • While dismissed "without prejudice," the federal cases against Trump are unlikely to resurface, even if legally possible.
  • This is due to political considerations and the voters' decision to re-elect him despite the charges.

Remaining State Charges

  • Trump still faces state charges in New York for hush money payments and in Georgia for alleged election interference.
  • However, these cases have been delayed, with sentencing postponed in New York and potential prosecutor misconduct issues in Georgia.
