Never before has a criminal defendant been elected to the nation’s highest office, just as an ex-president had never been criminally charged until last year .

Trump has said multiple times he plans to fire special counsel Jack Smith and end the federal cases against him.

Trump is scheduled to appear in a New York courtroom on November 26 to receive a sentence for his conviction earlier this year .

The immediate fate of Trump ’s criminal case in Georgia largely hinges on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis , a Democrat , is disqualified from prosecuting the matter after her prior romantic relationship with a fellow prosecutor.

Even if she is allowed to continue prosecuting Trump , the case would almost certainly imperil now that he has been elected.

There is no clear answer as to whether a state-level prosecutor, like Willis , can prosecute a sitting president.
