Manhattan judge Juan Marchand is struggling with the question of what to do with the criminal conviction against President-elect Donald Trump.

For this episode of Trump's Trials, All Things Considered host Juana Summers speaks with NPR's Tom Dreisbach.

Special Counsel Jack Smith will be taking steps to wind down the federal government's cases against president-elect Donald Trump before Trump takes office in January.

For about two years Smith has been building two cases against Trump, one of them for his actions related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the second for allegedly hoarding classified documents after leaving office in 2021.

With Trump ascending again to the presidency those cases will go away.

For this episode of Trump's Trials, host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR Voting correspondent Miles Parks.

In these closing days of the presidential election, polling across the board has nearly every swing state in a statistical tie, meaning the election may come down to just a couple thousands votes.

No matter who wins, in the coming days we're going to hear a lot more from Donald Trump and his allies about the results.

And if history is any guide we can expect a mix of misleading information, rumors and outright lies

For this episode of Trump's Trials, host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR voting correspondent Miles Parks and NPR reporter Jude Joffe-Block.

Former President Donald Trump and his allies have been ramping up a baseless claim that Democrats are encouraging newly-arrived migrants to vote for them in this year's federal elections.
