The Wall Street Journal: Donald Trump has faced a series of legal setbacks, making it a challenging week for the former U.S. President. Key former advisers are cooperating with federal prosecutors, offering potentially damaging testimony. Trump received a second fine for violating a gag order in a civil-fraud trial involving his former confidant Michael Cohen. Additionally, ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has been talking to federal prosecutors about efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and former legal adviser Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty in a racketeering case where Trump is the prime defendant.
Despite these setbacks, Trump remains a leading candidate for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination and has raised substantial campaign funds. However, the developments involving Meadows and Ellis could significantly undermine Trump’s legal defense in ongoing cases, further complicating his political and legal future.
