Ex-U.S. Attorney Warns of Potential Jail Time for Trump After Election Loss
Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman recently discussed the possibility of former President Donald Trump facing time behind bars if he fails to win the 2024 election. Litman raised concerns about the three ongoing criminal cases against Trump that would likely proceed if he is defeated by President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.
“If he doesn’t win, he has an appreciable chance of dying in prison,” Litman stated during a podcast hosted by former Sen. Al Franken. He emphasized that the outcome of the election could determine the future of these legal proceedings.
Following Trump’s recent conviction in a hush money trial, he is set to be sentenced on July 11. Litman speculated that Judge Juan Merchan might impose a prison sentence of a few months on the former president. However, Litman noted that Trump could avoid immediate incarceration as he navigates the appeals process.
Despite the potential legal challenges ahead, Litman suggested that Trump may not see the inside of a prison cell for a couple of years. The situation remains fluid, with the election outcome playing a crucial role in determining Trump’s legal fate.
