[Washington Examiner] The judge presiding over Donald Trump's Georgia racketeering case questioned Friday whether the former president can be tried if he wins the 2024 presidential election."If your client does win election in 2024, could he even be tried in 2025?" Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee asked during a hearing over motions from Trump and his co-defendants to dismiss charges in the Georgia 2020 election subversion case.
Trump attorney Steve Sadow, who made his first appearance in the case since Trump's indictment in Georgia in August, said he believes the former president could not be tried until after his four-year term in office if he wins the 2024 election.
"The answer to that is, I believe that under the Supremacy Clause and his duties as president of the United States, this trial would not take place at all until after he left the term of office," Sadow replied.
