Trump’s NY case was the first of four to go to trial. It could be the last one for a whileFormer President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference at Trump Tower, Friday, May 31, 2024, in New York. A day after a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony charges, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee addressed the conviction and likely attempt to cast his campaign in a new light.
One option will be to send it back to the trial judge, Tanya Chutkan, for her to determine which allegations in the indictment constitute official acts and must therefore be stricken from the case — and which do not. If Trump loses the election, this case — like the others — will presumably proceed as before. But if he wins, he could appoint an attorney general who would seek the dismissal of this case and the other federal prosecution he faces. He could also attempt to pardon himself if he reclaims the White House.The case that's most intractably stuck is the one that seemed the most straightforward when it was filed last year.
The falsifying business records charges — Trump was convicted of all 34 counts he faced — carry up to four years behind bars, though it's not clear whether prosecutors intend to seek imprisonment or whether the judge would impose that punishment even if asked.
