World News

The world is glued to the outcome of the US Presidential election to to know who among Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will enter White House.

Washington: All eyes are currently on the results of the US Presidential elections as to who, among Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, will enter the White House next and succeed Joe Biden. While Harris is the current Vice President of the US, Trump is also a former President of the country.

The question that is on in everyone’s mind is what will happen to all the pending cases against Trump if he wins the Presidential election this year. Will charges against him continue or whether the same will be dismissed? The charges against him were related to classified documents, the New York Hush Money case, and others
Speaking to ABC News recently, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, an ex-Manhattan District Attorney’s trial division chief, said that if Trump returns to the White House, then “forget” all pending cases against him. While Trump has also several serious charges against him, the cases were also affected by the US Supreme Court’s ruling in July this year on presidential immunity.

Hush Money case

This was the first criminal case that was filed against any present or former President of the US. In this case, Trump was accused of faking business records to hide a $130,000 payment, that was made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The money allegedly to keep her silent before the 2016 presidential Election, on the sexual encounter she claimed to have with a few years back. The former US president denied any such encounter so far. The sentencing in the case is scheduled to take place on November 26. Trump has already been convicted in the case.

Federal Cases

Donald Trump is currently facing two federal cases which were earlier brought by Jack Smith, the special counsel of the Department of Justice. While the first case involved interference in elections in the 2020 Presidential polls, the other case is related to improper handling of classified documents. In July this year, the US Supreme Court said that Trump was entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution against him in some cases that he committed during his final days in the White House. The court had delivered a 6-3 ruling.
