The ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is at least a modest victory for special counsel Jack Smith’s team, which had vigorously rejected efforts to push off the trial beyond its scheduled start date of May 20, 2024. Trump’s lawyers had argued that they needed more time to review the large trove of evidence with which they’d been presented and cited scheduling challenges resulting from the other legal cases against Trump, including three additional criminal prosecutions for which he is awaiting trial.
Correction, from holding any major state office either. If he's convicted then there can be no doubt that he engaged in insurrection. That will mean that the 14th Amendment will apply. That reads, in part:
I mean, he could probably still run for a school board, but he can't be in any state legislature, or executive, or even a judge in any state.
Nothing in what you quoted here would disqualify him from running for office with a conviction here in the documents case.
Sad, but I mixed up which criminal trial was under discussion. Thanks for the correction.
Lol understandably
