Trump advisers bluntly say the best solution to his legal problems is 'winning the election': NYT

Former President Donald Trump's advisers reportedly believe that his best shot at beating the multiple legal charges against him involves winning the 2024 presidential election.

The New York Times is reporting that "some of the former president’s advisers have been blunt in private conversations that he is looking to winning the election as a solution to his legal problems," which include both federal charges leveled by special counsel Jack Smith and state charges leveled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Although Trump would be limited in his ability to shut down Bragg's case, he could effectively freeze it while serving out his second term.

When it comes to Smtih's probe, meanwhile, he could order his attorney general to shut down the office and also issue a pardon to himself to bring the matter to a swift conclusion.

It's with this in mind, reports that Times, that Trump's lawyers are trying to delay the trial of the former president until after the 2024 election.

Even if Judge Aileen Cannon does agree to delay Trump's trial, that doesn't mean he's out of the woods legally, as both Smith's office and the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may soon level charges against Trump related to his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
