Trump running for president, will not impact all the invesigations against him?!! If that were the case anyone under ivestigations could announce they are running for persident?!!

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stands onstage listening to applause as he arrives to announce that he will once again run for U.S. president in the 2024 U.S. presidential election during an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Nov. 15, 2022. Credit - Jonathan Ernst—Reuters

Former President Donald Trump announced his third bid for the White House Tuesday night, confirming he is running to be the Republican Party’s 2024 nominee despite the web of criminal and civil investigations encroaching him.

Beyond speculation about Trump’s chances in primaries that are more than a year away, his candidacy raises questions about the multiple investigations Trump remains embroiled in.

Here is what we know about how Trump’s campaign will impact those investigations.

What are the major investigations Trump is facing?

Despite a decades-long career marked by lawsuits over contract disputes, employment issues, and tax affairs, Trump has never faced the legal quagmire before him today. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a criminal investigation into whether Trump allegedly removed or concealed potentially classified materials when he left office. And both DOJ and a House select committee are probing what role Trump played in the deadly attacks on the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has her own criminal probe into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn election results.

In New York, New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a $250 million civil lawsuit against Trump, his three adult children, the Trump Organization, and senior management in the company, alleging that they were involved in efforts to falsely inflate Trump’s assets by billions of dollars. James referred her findings to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Internal Revenue Service for criminal investigations, and is cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which is in the midst of its own criminal probe into Trump’s business dealings.

Trump’s legal counsel did not respond to TIME’s request for comment for this story. He has denied all wrongdoing and decried all of the investigations into him as politically motivated.

Will Trump’s candidacy affect how prosecutors handle investigations against him?

Legal experts tell TIME that Trump’s campaign announcement does not change the legal procedures or legal requirements of any of the investigations he faces. “Otherwise, anyone could always simply announce they are running for [President] to get away with misconduct,” says Barbara McQuade, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School and a former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. The Justice Department typically discourages investigative activities within 60 days of an election—and prosecutors are well outside of that window. Such a policy likely wouldn’t kick in until shortly before January 2024, when the first presidential primaries will be held, explains McQuade.

Only a moron like you would think it makes a difference. It's like asking what impact a candidates hair color has on legal charges. Remember those these are charges not convictions. Dingbat leftists have spent six years chasing trump and have come up empty every time. Good job
 
Prosecuting Trump via the judicial system is a complete waste of time.
Our judicial system is in shambles.

Biden needs to grow a pair and use a drone.
If Sanders or Warren were POTUS, Trump would be ashes by now.
 
Trump must believe that running will help him escape prosecution. The NY case is winding down and he is losing bigly. His CFO and other officers are throwing him under the bus, saying he knew and was involved in the tax schemes.
He is getting spanked in Georgia for his political interference crimes, from trying to get the Secty of state to cheat for him and trying to seat fake electors. This case has him doing it on tape.
Announcing a run is a stab in the dark at delaying the cases or the punishments.

Where is your mind reading degree from?
 
Sure his army of attorneys will find a way to use it to delay, postpone, and appeal what and whenever they can, and Trump will use it to play the martyr, his lemmings love the “victim” role, but otherwise, not much

Talk like yours would get you face down in a north Florida swamp...
 
"He has denied all wrongdoing and decried all of the investigations into him as politically motivated."

Anyone who believes this isn't politically motivated should probably ask themselves one question:

Would any of this be happening had he not been President?

Highly, highly doubtful...

What are you talking about?

Yes. And a bad policy at that. If a President murdered 18 people in Congress would Mueller say, let's wait and see what happens after?!

Agreed. It used to be the consensus that a president could not be sued in civil court but the Paula Jones case changed that.

And yet you prove to be nothing but a failure at answering the question.

You don't answer it because you know if you answer it honestly you will have to admit that there's a high probability it's political...

My opinion is that Nancy Pelosi has spent a good portion of her career hurting this country.

That doesn't make me pro-Trump, you fucking idiot, it makes me anti-Pelosi...

Maybe he thinks if he can win that will delay prosecution while he is president.
