Former President Donald Trump has twice successfully delayed his sentencing past Election Day.

His lawyers are sketching out several tactics to try to postpone his sentencing.

How the courts handle these last-ditch efforts will dictate whether and when a former US president serves time in prison.

A victory on Election Day , she added, is “his get out of jail free card”.

If Trump loses the election, his lawyers will likely make similar legal arguments to keep him out of prison.

Trump could face trial in his other criminal cases, including the Washington , DC , federal election subversion case.

Sentencing a former president or potential president-elect has never happened before in American history.

If the sentencing date is not moved, the courts could decide that Trump , if he’s elected, could begin serving the sentence after his term is up, when he will be 82 .

But some lawyers say it would send the wrong message to people that certain people are above the law, and you can get away with things if you are powerful enough.
