President-elect Donald Trump's election victory led to the dismissal of two federal criminal cases against him, while the two-state cases face significant legal challenges. Trump became the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime after being found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment. His reelection raises legal questions about sentencing and governance. Trump's legal team is trying to dismiss Georgia's election case, claiming that DOJ guidelines against prosecuting a sitting president should apply to state charges as he returns to the White House.
