MILWAUKEE: Donald Trump won a major legal victory on Monday (Jul 15) when a federal judge dismissed one of the criminal prosecutions against him, as he prepared to accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination
Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump gestures with a bloodied face while he is assisted by US Secret Service personnel after he was shot in the right ear during a campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show in Butler, Pennsylvania, US, on Jul 13, 2024.
Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, are locked in what opinion polls show to be a tight election rematch. Trump continues to falsely claim that his 2020 loss to Biden was the result of widespread fraud and has not committed to accepting the results of the election were he to lose.In the wake of his near-death experience, Trump said he is revising his acceptance speech to emphasise national unity, rather than highlight his differences with Biden.
Trump said that following the judge's decision on Monday dismissing the documents case, his other outstanding prosecutions should also be thrown out. He is still awaiting trial on two cases - a federal prosecution in Washington and a Georgia state prosecution - for his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
Trump has frequently turned to violent rhetoric in his campaign speeches, using the word"bloodbath", labeling his perceived enemies as"vermin" and"fascists," and accusing Biden without evidence of a conspiracy to overthrow the United States by encouraging illegal immigration.
