A LAWYER has revealed Donald Trump has nothing stopping him from running for the 2024 election, despite a guilty verdict.
Trump was found guilty on all counts in the historic hush money trial, becoming the first former president with a criminal conviction.
During the trial, former prosecutor Neama Rahmani told The U.S. Sun exclusively about how the conviction would affect his presidency.
“If Donald Trump is found guilty, even if he’s sentenced to prison, which is unlikely in the New York case, he can still be president,” Rahmani said.
“There’s nothing prohibiting a convicted felon from being president of the United States.”
“Theoretically, Trump could be in prison and still be president of the United States, earning the Constitution.
“The only requirements are that he be 35 and be born in the United States and not have engaged in an insurrection.”
Both Republican and Democratic Parties have guaranteed spots on the general election ballots in all 50 states and the parties will tell election officials whose name to put in their spot.
The former prosecutor pointed out that winning the election would help his other legal cases.
Trump is still facing charges in two cases brought in federal courts in South Florida and Washington DC which were both pushed back to an unspecified date.
