As Soon as Trump Leaves Office, He Faces Risk of Prosecution

 

The president is more vulnerable than ever to an investigation into his business practices and taxes.

 

President Trump has fought to prevent the Manhattan district attorney

from obtaining his tax returns for more than a year.

President Trump lost more than an election last week. When he leaves the White House in January,

he will also lose the constitutional protection from prosecution afforded to a sitting president.

After Jan. 20, Mr. Trump, who has refused to concede and is fighting to hold onto his office,

will be more vulnerable than ever to a pending grand jury investigation by the Manhattan district attorney

into the president’s family business and its practices, as well as his taxes.

 

The two-year inquiry, the only known active criminal investigation of Mr. Trump, has been stalled since last fall,

when the president sued to block a subpoena for his tax returns and other records, a bitter dispute

that for the second time is before the U.S. Supreme Court. A ruling is expected soon.

Mr. Trump has contended that the investigation by the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat,

is a politically motivated fishing expedition. But if the Supreme Court rules that Mr. Vance is entitled

to the records, and he uncovers possible crimes, Mr. Trump could face a reckoning with law enforcement

— further inflaming political tensions and raising the startling specter of a criminal conviction, or even prison,

for a former president.
