Trump New York Case May Be 'Rule of Law's Last Stand' -- Ex-Prosecutor

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : The jury convicted Trump in May on all 34 counts related to falsifying business records as part of what prosecutors described as a scheme to influence the 2016 election through the payment to Daniels.
39% : While Trump was a private citizen when his then-lawyer Michael Cohen made the payment to Daniels, his legal team argues that the jury received evidence that should have been excluded under the Supreme Court's guidance, including presidential financial disclosure forms and White House staff testimony.
33% : While Trump may be able to end federal prosecutions once in office -- including the classified documents case in Florida and the January 6 case in Washington, D.C. -- he cannot unilaterally dismiss state charges.
32% : If prosecutors survive the appeals, the trial might proceed against remaining defendants, but any potential trial of Trump would likely be postponed until he leaves office.
31% : Trump, who has pleaded not guilty in all cases, previously stated he would fire Smith "within two seconds" of being sworn into office.
24% : Trump has called the prosecution politically motivated and denied allegations of an extramarital affair, characterizing the case as a "witch hunt" aimed at harming his 2024 presidential campaign.
