Previous President Trump has had a number of legal victories in recent weeks, putting a break in a majority of cases and delaying others that could have complicated his campaign during the general election season.

The The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States last month that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts in office but not for unofficial acts. The Supreme Court left it to lower courts to decide exactly where the line between official and unofficial is drawn.

“Therefore, the President cannot be impeached for exercising his basic constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to presumptive immunity from prosecution for all of his official acts,” said the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts. “This immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, regardless of politics, policy or party.”

The issue of presidential immunity stemmed from special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump on January 6. Trump pleaded not guilty to those charges. That trial was put on hold in a lower court pending the Supreme Court’s ruling, which struck out all charges related to official presidential acts.

That case has been remanded to the US District Court for the District of Columbia. Smith requested a delay to amend and prepare his argument in the case, following the Supreme Court ruling. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted Smith’s request. A joint status report is now due on 30 August and a status conference is now set for 5 September.

The Supreme Court’s ruling then prompted Trump’s lawyers to request that the former president’s New York ruling against Trump be delayed. He was found guilty on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree after an unprecedented criminal trial stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation.

The sentencing was originally scheduled for July 11, before the Republican National Convention, where Trump would be formally nominated as the GOP presidential nominee. Judge Juan Merchan agreed to the adjournment and said a hearing on the matter would take place on September 18.

But days later, Trump’s lawyers asked Merchan to overturn the former president’s New York conviction against Trump.

Citing the Supreme Court’s ruling, Trump’s lawyers said the court should “dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury’s verdict based on violations of the presidential immunity doctrine and the Supremacy Clause.” In the formal motion, Trump attorney Todd Blanche pointed to the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and argued that some evidence of “official acts” should not have been admitted at trial.

Specifically, Blanche argued that testimony from former White House officials and employees was improperly admitted at trial.

Blanche argued that Bragg “violated the doctrine of presidential immunity by using similar evidence from official records in the grand jury trial that gave rise to the politically motivated charges in this case.”

A decision on the motion is pending.

JUDGE DISMISSES TRUMP’S FLORIDA CASE WITH CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS

Days later, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.

Trump had faced charges related to the alleged improper storage of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. He pleaded not guilty to all 37 criminal counts stemming from Smith’s investigation, including knowingly retaining national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements.

But Cannon dismissed the case outright, ruling that Smith was illegally appointed and funded, citing the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.

The Appointments Clause states: “Ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court, and all other officers of the United States are appointed by the president, subject to the advice and consent of the senate, although congress may entrust the appointment of subordinate officers to the president alone, in the courts, or in the heads of departments.”

However, Smith was never confirmed by the Senate. He is appealing the verdict.

TRUMP APPEALS $454M VERDICT IN NEW CIVIL FRAUD

Meanwhile, in Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis had charged Trump with crimes related to alleged election interference in 2020. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.

The judge in that case dismissed six of the charges against Trump, saying Willis did not allege enough details.

The case was also thrown into limbo when it was revealed that Willis reportedly had an “inappropriate affair” with Nathan Wade, a prosecutor she hired to help make the case against Trump. Wade later resigned from his position.

Last month, the Georgia Court of Appeals paused the proceedings until it hears the case to disqualify Willis in October, another major setback for Willis.

Last week, the Georgia Court of Appeals said it would hear Trump’s argument that Willis be disqualified on Dec. 5, a month after the 2024 presidential election.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s ruling could be applied by Trump lawyers in several civil cases he has fought.

In the civil defamation suit brought against him by columnist E. Jean Carroll, Trump was ordered to pay more than $83 million in damages after he denied allegations that he raped her in the 1990s.

Carroll alleged that Trump raped her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across from Trump Tower in Manhattan in 1996.

The jury found that Carroll was injured as a result of statements Trump made while in the White House in June 2019.

Trump’s denial came while he was president during a press briefing at the White House. Trump’s lawyers may say the denial came as part of an official presidential act.

His denial resulted in Carroll hitting Trump with a defamation lawsuit, claiming his response damaged her reputation.

Trump is also appealing the civil fraud conviction that required him to pay more than $450 million following a lawsuit filed against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Trump’s legal team this week filed paperwork with an intermediate appeals court calling the ruling “constitutional.”
