Many Democrats have long wanted to put former president Donald Trump in jail. His recent behavior suggests he thinks it will help him politically if he gets there sooner rather than later.
That’s what could happen if he continues to make comments in public and on social media regarding the multiple cases filed against him. Prosecutors and defendants are typically restricted with respect to what they can say publicly before and during a trial. That prevents them from tainting the jury pool with information or views that may not be admissible at trial. In some cases, it can also prevent efforts to tamper with a witness’s testimony by offering veiled threats or promises.
