>> The November 5th election wasn't just a victory for President-elect Donald Trump's campaign.

It was a win for his legal team, too.

He is now at the first convicted felon to be elected president, which could mean a pause or even end to his legal troubles beyond his 34 count conviction in the New York hush money case.

Trump still faces an election interference case Georgia.

Plus, 2 federal cases related to the January 6th Capitol attack in his possession of classified documents at his Florida estate.

Here to break down how things could change is Harold Krantz, professor of law at Chicago.

Can't College of Law.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Now.

We know that he is already making history.

Really?

How unprecedented is it to have a president elected in a candidate who's in this sort of legal mark?

We've had one candidate before Eugene Debs back and let the Socialist Party way back when.

>> But this is obviously an president.

He's the first person ever be convicted felon who's been elected president.

And this will have a huge impact on his legal cases going forward.

Different for different for like 3 sets of cases but happy to sketch the difference.

Yeah, let's right.

Let's start with what he what he's already been convicted of sunset cases, of course, for the salon net is for the falsifying business records related to these hush money payments during his.

>> First run for the presidency, sentencing was supposed to happen later this month.

Do you expect that it will continue even even before that tomorrow, the judge will decide whether to threw out the conviction because of the Supreme unity decision.

There is one reading of the Supreme Court's musician which says that you can't use information from official discussion between the president's close advisers, even as a way to.

Flush out whether or not he's guilty of the president guilty of some other crime.

So he will have to make an assessment about whether particularly the testimony of Hope Hicks for press secretary for President Trump.

So in fact, did the New York proceedings as to throughout the verdict in which I would open up for another you had a clean another trial after he stepped down from being president case, it would be an delay.

It would be after presumably for years that he serves out here.

>> And that, again, is related to the immunity case that was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court relation to another Trump case.

Right.

And in terms of the federal cases, they're gone.

They're gone for 2 reasons.

First of all, President Trump will be head of the Justice Department is head of the Justice Department.

He can say dismiss the cases.

>> But the second reason is that there is a longstanding government decision that.

President should not be criminally prosecuted when they're in the White House been completely or can they be picked back up?

As you noted, maybe in 4 years time or so that the Fed won't won't be because the president has, again, will direct the attorney general to dismiss the cases.

>> So by that time, statue of limitations will run the New York case.

That's a possibility.

And the Georgia case, the 4th while the other case, federal cases, the documents case in Florida, which is not going anywhere anyway because the trial judge basically ruled in all sorts of ways for President Trump so he could avoid I thought was a very clear cut documents case in terms of reaching classified documents, protocols so that that's not going anywhere.

And it's on down 11th circuit.

Anyway.

case interesting is the Fulton County Kingston, which is a racketeering charge for interfering in the elections.

And that's been a whole because of funny Willis and the questions about what happened with her appointment of a special counsel.

>> with supposedly she had relations so tied up for reasons having nothing to do nothing to President.

Right hand.

>> So they could resume, but probably again, they won't do while Houston presidency probably would only resume in 29 after he steps down.

So if presumably the prosecutor is a Democrat or whatever the political tide would be at that time.

Yeah, they do.

There is a document that has been issued in the case.

It's very complex there.

People already pled guilty in the And so >> there's a lot there that 2 to tie President Trump to election interference, putting a of limitations or could be it would be held infected.

The agreement would be to hold over the case assuming he would then claim that the statute limitations had run no in so many of these cases, it was in part a strategy.

It seems on Trump's legal teams to happen.

Also.

>> It just lock to delay, delay, DeLay.

Would we be in a different spot had any of these gone forward earlier?

should prosecutors have moved quicker?

I think that >> prosecutions was blocked in some cases.

I mean, by happenstance Georgia case by the judge in the Florida case.

And so wheels of justice to move slowly and stuff happens.

And we we see the delay and the President Trump, lawyers did a great seeking Lakers.

They knew that delay was on the side of their client and they ended being right.

But I just want to quickly transition civil cases are going to go on the U.S. Supreme Court decided during the Clinton administration when he was sued by Paula Jones for improprieties, that a sitting president could be responsible for a civil damages action.

And that would not distract the president from his office, but he's the president.

How do you get any sort of fair ruling expected judge to come number ticket you have a president who's?

>> really say that he'll use his powers to punish those who defy him while the 2 cases that have just recently are on appeal.

You know, one being the from Eugene Carroll for defamation by 80 million dollars.

>> I think that appeal is not going to leave.

Tarnish the office or distracting.

And I think we'll be able to get a fair hearing from the New York courts on that one.

And another New York court in terms of the fraud case against him from inflating the value of his land.

That's like it's 350 million dollars.

That appeal is going forward as well.

May be reduced.

But I think that will continue without fear.

What I don't know about is in civil damages for what that he participated in the election interference case.

People who were injured have sued him personally.

And that may be too close to his actions prep fire president for this court.

So that's the one that we have to look at, that that they may say no, that's not going forward.

Sure.

We'll have you back to learn more when and if that happens as well as any potential partners related to those attackers January Thank
