"Unpacking Trump's Impending Legal Trials"

Former President Donald Trump is set to face his first criminal trial on charges of illegally falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Legal analyst Katie Phang argues that the trial will level the playing field for Trump, as he will be referred to as "criminal defendant Donald Trump" and be subject to the judicial process. Polls suggest that a conviction could significantly impact his support among voters, with a majority indicating they would not vote for him if he were convicted of any felony charges.
