If former President Donald Trump is convicted and sentenced to prison time in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case, he could still run for president — and even run the country — from behind bars, but not without a dizzying array of complications, according to legal experts.
The 76-year-old billionaire made history Thursday when a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him in a sprawling fraud case, making him the first former US president to face criminal charges.
Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, revealed that the former leader of the free world, who is vying for a second non-consecutive White House term in 2024, will face 34 counts of business fraud.
Trump has given no sign that the indictment, which Tacopina admitted “shocked” his famous client, has shaken his resolve to regain the nation’s highest office.
