Donald Trump’s Election interference trial set day before Primary Election
The move to have his trial start the day before the most important day in the primary election is garnering criticism, and claims that it’s election interference
In a new poll conducted by Newsweek, a majority of Democrat voters who backed Biden for president in the 2020 election say that the arrest of Donald J Trump constitutes election interference.
To add insult to injury, Donald Trumps Election Interference trial is set to begin the day before Super Tuesday, which is the day when most states hold their elections for the republican primary.
This is an unprecedented event in United States history as no former president has ever been charged with a crime — especially not leading up to, or during an election season.
A president or former president has never been charged with a crime before, which means that no court has been given the opportunity to rule on the topic. However, there have been a couple of close encounters. President Ulysses S. Grant is the only president ever brought into custody, but his arrest was over a speeding charge which resulted in release and a fine. President Richard Nixon’s likely indictment led his successor President Gerald Ford to pardon him. President Bill Clinton escaped indictment after negotiation with special counsel over false testimony given in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. However, no President has ever received an indictment.
