"I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail."

"I would be surprised if we see a sentence of incarceration... [Trump] has no criminal record, it's a nonviolent crime."

"[T]here's no guarantees [Judge Merchan will not sentence Trump]."

"He could go to jail."

"I believe, if convicted, a sentence of incarceration is warranted and justified."

The judges "would likely sentence him to a term of incarceration."

"[I]t is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time."

"I think he almost definitely will receive a prison sentence... I could see Judge Merchan sentencing him to 24 months in jail."

Will Donald Trump Be Jailed or Incarcerated Before 2030?

"No, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus."

"Habeas corpus can only be suspended under the Constitution in times of invasion or insurrection. None of that is happening now."

"This is a really important question, and the answer is a categorical no."

"We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this [Trump's mass deportations]."

"I can assure you that the president and the entire administration are certainly open to all legal and constitutional remedies [including pausing the writ of habeas corpus] to ensure we can continue with the promise of deporting illegal criminals from our nation's borders."

"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

Will The Trump Administration Suspend Habeas Corpus?

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal lawyer with no prior prosecutorial experience, personally presented the case to the grand jury after replacing Erik Siebert, who had resisted bringing charges.

James responded to the charges by calling them baseless and describing the prosecution as a continuation of Trump's weaponization of the justice system for political retribution following her successful civil fraud case against him.</span
