Donald Trump promises a happy January in the political field. He is expected to sweep the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, leaving his rivals for the Republican nomination to the White House far behind. However, at the judicial level, everything will be more complicated. Next week he will face two trials in New York, one for fraud and another for rape. Both are in their final phase and Trump plans to attend the hearings.
The fraud trial can affect the management of your business empire. Trump is accused of defrauding banks for decades and faces millions in fines.
The rape case is even more complicated. This is criminal and last year a court already determined that Trump sexually abused the New York writer E. Jean Carroll in a department store.
Trump, in statements to The New York Times, assures that both processes are “unfair” and attacks the judges, President Biden and the Democratic party.
Victimhood and conspiracy theories are fundamental pillars of his electoral strategy and the results of the polls, for the moment, support it.
Trump wants to testify at the final hearing of the Carroll case. He regrets not having done so sooner and assures that he can dismantle the prosecution’s thesis, endorsed by a court of first instance.
Three years have passed since the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol and this next week, in Washington, a hearing will be held in the case in which Trump is prosecuted for trying to prevent the certification of the presidential elections and hindering the transfer of powers . The Republican leader also plans to attend this hearing.
Trump is accused of 91 serious crimes in four cases and everything indicates that in the coming months he will jump from the rally stages to the courtrooms in a very measured electoral choreography that he hopes will catapult him back to the White House.
