The delays in Donald Trump’s criminal proceedings due to unresolved questions about presidential immunity may ultimately benefit Trump’s greater legal strategy.
The federal appeals court’s decision on immunity could significantly impact the timing of Trump’s trial, potentially affecting the 2024 presidential election.
The delays in the legal process and the appeals court’s ruling remain critical factors in determining whether Trump will face a criminal trial in 2024.
“The timing of a decision by the panel will indeed be a critical determinant of whether the case can go forward expeditiously,” Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman said.
