Good question. That investigation also referred evidence for possible criminal charges of tax evasion and fraud.

Another thing that should be noted is that during grand jury proceedings the general rules of evidence are not applicable. That means a lot of the stuff you can present to a grand jury would be excluded from trial. Also the defendant does not get to make their case to a grand jury, they only hear one side of the argument, the prosecutors.

These cases will likely do nothing to stop him from running. Additionally, Trump CAN run from jail, if something were to happen. These investigations are all to hold him accountable for crimes he committed. Many people do believe "you break the law, you go to jail". The President, or a previous President" shouldn't be above the law.

What’s a ‘district attorney’ I hear that from American media a lot and it confuses me, does an entire district with thousands of people only have one attorney? Do they handle everyone’s case? Are they voted in?

@jeffbenton6183

Жыл бұрын

The district attorneys are essentially the chief prosecutors of their respective districts. They administer the local government organization containing all the prosecutors and are themselves the prosecutors responsible for dealing with specific, important cases. (I think in some districts, the DA personally handles all murder cases). Crucially, they are also directly elected instead of being appointed. That said, it's important to remember that the US is a federation, and even within states there's a fair amount of decentralization. This means that exactly what a district attorney varies from district to district, but the fact that the district attorney is the chief prosecutor and is directly elected is pretty much the same everywhere.
