Trump's Legal Battles Continue to Mount.
Former President Trump's court drama could result in a criminal trial just as the presidential campaign heats up, with his next Manhattan court date set for December 4th and prosecutors asking for a trial in January, the month before the Iowa caucuses. Charges in two other probes targeting Trump are possible as early as summer, if prosecutors want to complete the trials before the 2024 election. While the recent indictment has strengthened Trump's position in the Republican primary, the months of legal drama could further discredit him with general-election swing voters.
