Main Ideas and Key Points
1. The Trump criminal trials are currently in the pretrial motion stage, where the defense scrutinizes the prosecutor's case and files motions to weaken the charges.
2. Defense motions, such as a claim of absolute immunity from criminal liability, have not been successful and are unlikely to benefit Trump in the long run.
3. Plea deals have been made by some co-defendants, indicating they may have valuable testimony or information to offer the prosecution.
4. The Georgia Rico case is complex and may raise constitutional issues, while the streamlined indictment in the Washington DC case may lead to quicker proceedings.
