Trump's legal team succeeded in delaying his criminal trials until after the election, raising the stakes for his freedom in the wake of potential incarceration.
Judge Juan Merchan will rule on Trump's motion to dismiss his conviction for hush money payments after the election, impacting the possibility of jail time.
The Justice Department's policy prohibits prosecution of a sitting president, meaning the outcomes of Trump's trials could hinge significantly on the election results.
Trump's advanced age and status as a first-time offender may encourage leniency from Judge Merchan, but his lack of remorse and multiple violations might complicate sentencing.
