Jailhouse shock might lie in wait

THERE may be more at stake for Donald Trump than the loss of the presidency as he could go from the White House to the jailhouse.

In recent weeks he has told aides he fears he faces multiple charges if he loses office and the protection from prosecution that goes with it.

While he is threatening legal action to overturn the election result, he might find himself before the courts facing criminal charges.

When Trump becomes an ordinary US citizen he forfeits a sitting president’s presumptive immunity from prosecution.

He will also lose the ability to use the levers of power to protect himself from possible charges.

T There are more than a dozen inv investigations under way ag against him and his associates a and one or two could well r result in criminal charges.
