Please don’t expect the law to save America from Donald Trump. Not for the first time, he is proving to be a talented escapologist. I always doubted that Trump would be locked up by the next presidential election but the most serious criminal cases against him may not even reach trial by November 4. One by one, the bulwarks against his return to power are toppling.
This week marks a critical juncture in the series of Trump trials. Tomorrow, the former president is expected to appear in a New York court in the hope of persuading a judge to dismiss charges that he paid hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. He claims that the case brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg is a naked attempt to interfere in his latest presidential campaign.
