The former US president’s victory might lead to the dismissal of some of the most serious criminal charges against him, which also include federal cases. The first former U.S. president to face criminal charges,Trump for much of this year faced four simultaneous prosecutions, over allegations ranging from his attempt to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.Trump as president will have the authority to shut down the federal cases against him.
