As if the 2024 US elections couldn’t have more stakes, Donald Trump is fighting not only for the presidency but also for his freedom.
While his campaign grabs headlines, Trump’s lawyers are quietly working on his criminal cases. With four trials ahead, he’s already facing a sentencing hearing in New York three weeks after Election Day.

It could all go awry for him as he might become the first former president to serve jail time. However, if he wins the election, he will have enough power to disrupt or even shut down the court cases against him.
Trump has joked in the past about firing special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing two major cases against him, once he comes into power. This might soon turn into reality as the former president continued his attack, calling Smith “mentally deranged” in his interviews.

Apart from criminal cases, the Republican candidate also has other state cases including election tampering and falsifying business records. Legal experts believe that jail remains a possibility for Trump, especially given his conviction on 34 felonies and his courtroom antics.
Even if he loses, you can expect Donald Trump to put up a fight or once again question the electoral process like he did in 2020. It is not just about reclaiming the White House, it has become a desperate personal battle for him.
