Donald Trump's election victory may shield him from criminal prosecutions during his presidency under Justice Department policy, potentially halting his ongoing federal cases. While Trump's legal problems may reduce, he remains liable for significant civil penalties, totaling over $570 million. The Special Counsel is reportedly looking to wind down federal cases against him, while state-level prosecutions may also be delayed. Trump's presidency could impact, but not eliminate, his civil litigation, as he faces ongoing appeals in various civil suits.
