Trump’s latest ploy to delay trials is to cry ‘election interference’, DoJ veterans say

Trump's drive to have trials held post-election hinges on hopes of winning presidency, and then telling DoJ to kill the federal charges

Claims by Donald Trump and his lawyers that holding any of the four criminal trials he now faces before the US election in November would be election interference" lack a solid legal basis and are brazen ploys to delay trials until post election, former justice department officials say.

As he campaigns to return to the White House, Trump is facing unprecedented legal and political perils: trials are pending in four federal and state jurisdictions, where he's been charged with 91 felony counts including 17 about conspiring with allies to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in 2020.
