Summary of "Biden DOJ plans to prosecute Trump after Election Day even if he wins: Report"
The Biden Department of Justice plans to continue prosecuting former President Donald Trump even if he wins the election in November, according to a report by The Washington Post. The DOJ's policy of not charging sitting presidents does not apply to a president-elect, and they intend to pursue criminal cases against Trump until Inauguration Day in January. Legal expert Jonathan Turley discusses how the DOJ's prosecutor, Jack Smith, is determined to try Trump before the election, despite recent court setbacks. Turley also highlights the challenges Smith faces in the January 6 case and doubts whether he can proceed with the trial before the election or even before the inauguration. Overall, the DOJ's decision to continue prosecuting Trump has raised concerns about influencing the election outcome.
