The Hill: Biden faces politically thorny decision on Trump prosecutions
One of the biggest tests awaiting President-elect Joe Biden after he takes office is how his Justice Department will handle calls from some Democrats to investigate and prosecute President Trump.
Trump will lose expansive legal protections after Jan. 20, and the new administration will have to decide whether to follow up on congressional and local law enforcement investigations or try to turn the page on the Trump era and avoid the political risks that could come with such an unprecedented court case.
No former president has ever been charged with a crime after leaving office, but Trump is already the subject of a number of probes. In New York, the state attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney are conducting fraud investigations into his past business practices.
WNU Editor: Prosecute him for what? After four years where we saw a special prosecutor, multiple investigations, etc. .... they still have nothing. But if they choose to go down this path. You can take this to the bank. The U.S. will be even more fractured than what it is today.
