Trump trial in 2024 uncertain, ex-prosecutor Rubin says

Amid Donald Trump’s relentless pursuit of an uncertain 2024 presidency, a legal storm is brewing with four indictments hanging over his head. Yet, a Trump trial is uncertain.

White House blog writer and former prosecutor, Jordan Rubin, delves into the intricate web of legal proceedings, shedding light on the pivotal question: Which trial will take precedence?

Rubin’s analysis focuses on the Washington D.C. case, highlighting its potential to pose the greatest risk to Trump. He underscores the seriousness of the charges and the likelihood of facing a judge eager to expedite proceedings.

However, the unpredictable element lies in the hands of U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who had to temporarily halt the case pending Trump’s immunity appeal.

Twists and turns

Despite the twists and turns in the legal saga, Rubin points out that the Supreme Court rejected special counsel Jack Smith‘s plea to intervene early in the process. Instead, the case is following the normal, albeit expedited, route through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

An oral argument scheduled for January 9 could potentially shift the calendar, with Rubin noting that the Supreme Court has been cautious about intervening in the dispute.

Adding another layer of complexity, Rubin speculates on the Manhattan case emerging as the first indictment to reach a jury. This case, often underestimated in its severity, has the potential to be viewed as a form of election interference.

No assurance of Trump trial 

Nevertheless, Rubin injects a dose of uncertainty into the narrative, emphasizing that just as there was no guarantee of Trump facing charges in 2023, there is no assurance that he will be tried in any jurisdiction come 2024.
