Donald Trump Could End Up in Jail

Although a conviction is likely, the most common scenario is that Trump would not face prison time, at least not while he remains in office.

This is due to a federal law that prevents a sitting president from being prosecuted, which would grant him legal immunity during his tenure.

Trump has multiple open cases that include document forgery, theft of classified information, and vote manipulation.

As well as his possible involvement in the Capitol assault that occurred in 2021, according to ‘Diario AS’ portal.

However, the legal aspects related to his presidency raise complex questions.

Since the United States Constitution does not clearly establish what happens in the case of accusations or criminal convictions against a sitting president.

Trump is being charged in several U.S. states for various crimes that could entail prison time.

In Washington, he is accused of trying to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election, and of inciting the violent assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

In Georgia, he faces charges for attempting to manipulate the vote count, while in Florida, he is accused of taking classified documents to his residence in Mar-a-Lago.

However, it is in New York where Trump has faced his first criminal conviction.

In 2023, he was found guilty of document forgery related to payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Who alleged to have had an extramarital affair with Donald Trump.

This case was one of the most high-profile during Donald Trump’s term. Despite the attention it garnered, it was one of the lesser criminal charges.

Trump was convicted on 34 counts related to the payments to Daniels, totaling up to $130,000, to silence her and conceal the relationship.

The judge ruled that these payments violated campaign finance laws, and he was fined for contempt after making comments about the case and violating a judicial gag order.

His record also includes civil accusations of sexual abuse and defamation, and he is involved in a financial fraud investigation.

The question of whether Trump could go to prison if he returns to the White House is further complicated by the lack of clear regulations in the United States Constitution.

If re-elected, any sentencing or conviction would have to wait until he leaves the presidency.

Although laws protect a sitting president, Trump’s legal situation could affect his political future, noted ‘Diario AS’.

Despite the law protecting Trump from prosecution as president, his legal situation remains a concern for him and his party.
