A possible conviction will not stop Trump from continuing with the presidential campaign.
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on federal charges even as he remains the Republican front-runner for the 2024 US presidential nomination. The latest indictment, which follows an earlier indictment on criminal charges, complicates the upcoming US presidential election, with legal experts already mulling the consequences of a possible conviction.
Trump now faces seven criminal counts including violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. His legal team will try to push the trial for as long as they can, but the chances are that it will indeed take place before the 2024 US presidential elections conclude in November 2024.Can Trump Continue the Campaign?
Trump can freely go ahead with the election campaign as the trial will not take place for at least a year. The former president will initially report at a federal court in Florida but the legal process will go on for months.
