Biden's criticism labeled the prosecution of his son as "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" due to political motives, which he described as a "miscarriage of justice." These remarks have now become a central element in Trump’s defense strategy.

Trump's Legal Team Highlights Biden's DOJ Remarks

The defense argues that Biden’s public disapproval of the DOJ's actions mirrors the treatment Trump has received. According to Trump's lawyers, the DOJ, under the guidance of Special Counsel Jack Smith and other officials, has targeted Trump with politically charged allegations.

Trump’s legal representatives contend that the proceedings disrupt his presidential transition efforts. They highlight the significant support Trump received in the November 5, 2024 election, which they argue grants him a "national mandate" to prepare for office.

Judge Considers Motion Amidst Legal Turmoil

In response to Trump's election victory, Judge Juan Merchan postponed Trump's sentencing and called for a new motion to dismiss the case. This indefinite delay opens a new phase in the legal battles facing the former president.

The DOJ has hinted at acquiescing to the demands for dismissal, influenced by the election results. However, the specifics of these concessions have not been publicly disclosed.

Prosecutors have proposed that the case could potentially resume in 2029, following Trump's potential second term. Trump’s legal team has outright rejected this suggestion, demanding an immediate resolution.

Recent Judicial Decisions Impact Trump's Cases

Last week, a series of legal decisions regarding Trump's various charges saw significant developments. Federal judges granted motions to dismiss both the federal election interference case and an appeal concerning his classified documents case.

These judicial actions reflect a potentially shifting landscape in the legal proceedings against Trump, influenced by his recent electoral success and ongoing debates about the political nature of legal actions against sitting presidents.

Trump's attorneys continue to press for an immediate end to all prosecutions. They argue that these cases not only undermine Trump's transition but also conflict with the constitutional authority he has been granted by the electorate.

Biden's Pardon Raises Questions on DOJ Integrity

The pardon of Biden's son has ignited discussions on the impartiality and independence of the DOJ. In response, Trump’s lawyers are using Biden's own words to fortify their argument that the DOJ’s actions against Trump have been unjustly influenced by political considerations.

This argument builds on Biden’s admission of the DOJ's political motivations, further drawing parallels to what Trump's team claims is happening in his own case.

As these legal and political dramas continue to unfold, the nation watches closely. Indeed, the outcome of these motions and the responses from both the DOJ and the courts may have far-reaching implications for the balance of political and judicial power in the United States.
