Mounting Legal Woes Ensnare Trump In Multiple Jurisdictions.

“Now, prosecutors roam free in his financial records. New lawsuits keep arriving. Some of his key lawyers have quit. A man who once used the law to swamp his enemies, overwhelming them with claims and legal bills, is finding himself on the other side of the wave, unable to control what comes next.
Until recently, “at his level, there was no such thing as being in ‘legal trouble,’ in the way that ordinary people think about it,” said Michael D’Antonio, who wrote a 2015 biography of Trump. He said Trump usually had something he could hold over the head of his opponents: withholding donations, bad press or a messy countersuit.”
Donald Trump desperately clung to power in the waning days of his disgraced administration because he knew the legal jungle that awaited his return to Mara Lago that lacks the legal protections of the Oval Office. Cunningly, he was able to raise money from his supporters on the pretext of staying in power and now those funds can be used to fight the impending avalanche of lawsuits right around the corner. Will he stay in the United States? Head to a friendlier country? We shall see.
