The former president has not been charged with any crime but speculation has grown since the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago.
Former President Donald Trump is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) over his handling of classified documents at his Florida residence after he left office.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing following an FBI raid at his Mar-a-Lago property on August 8 and he has not been charged with any crime. However, speculation has grown that he could be facing indictment.
Former Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano has said he believed Trump could face federal indictment for a number of crimes arising from the search, while former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has said an indictment is possible but not likely.
The DOJ has also revealed in court filings that it is probing potential violations of the Espionage Act as well as other federal statutes that could lead to years in prison.
If Trump were to be charged with a crime, he would then go to trial before a jury. Both defense and prosecution would be involved in the jury selection process with a lot at stake.
Dr. Jill Huntley Taylor is CEO of Taylor Trial Consulting and is an expert on the psychology, behavior, and decision-making processes of juries with 24 years of experience in jury consulting and trial strategy.
“Can Donald Trump get a fair trial? Yes,” Huntley Taylor said.
