Submitted by MAGA

Posted 47 days ago

Here's the latest on former President Donald Trump's legal proceedings and the potential impact on the upcoming presidential election. Trump is scheduled to participate in a virtual probation interview on Monday, following his conviction on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the historic hush money trial. The interview, which will take place over a secure virtual network, is a pre-sentencing requirement and will be conducted by a female probation officer.

Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, will be present during the interview, which is expected to cover topics such as Trump's social and criminal history, financial resources, mental health, physical or addiction issues, and living situation. Legal experts have noted that holding a probation interview over a video conference call is unusual, but having the former president in a New York probation office would also be unprecedented.

Meanwhile, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that President Biden is leading Trump for the first time in months, although the margin is slim. The poll was conducted after Trump's felony conviction, which has raised questions about his eligibility to run for office.

In other news, the Supreme Court is set to decide on several high-profile cases before their summer recess, including cases related to Trump's immunity from prosecution for acts committed while in office, abortion rights, and gun rights. The court's decisions could have significant implications for Trump's ongoing legal battles and the upcoming presidential election.


One of the most significant cases before the court is a challenge to the abortion drug mifepristone, which could have major implications for access to medication abortion and broader ramifications on the FDA's regulatory authority. The court must also decide whether Idaho's strict state abortion ban overrides a federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care to patients.

Another case before the court involves a challenge to the "Chevron deference" doctrine, which has guided how much latitude federal agencies enjoy while implementing the laws they are charged to enforce. Overturning Chevron could weaken federal agencies and hand courts more power to decide how the executive branch should implement laws.

Finally, the court will decide whether a law that bans people who are subject to domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms violates the Second Amendment. The court's decision in this case could have significant implications for gun rights and public safety.

As the Supreme Court prepares to issue its decisions, Trump's legal team is scheduled to submit their sentencing recommendation on June 13. Trump is set to be sentenced for all 34 felony counts in New York on July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention begins. Legal experts have argued that Trump is unlikely to face imprisonment due to his age, lack of a criminal record, and other factors. However, the court's decisions in the upcoming cases could have a significant impact on Trump's legal battles and the upcoming presidential election.
