Could FBI Investigation into Trump Stop 2024 Run for President?

The shocking FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago quickly sparked a heated legal debate as to whether a conviction would disqualify former President Trump from running again for the White House.

As political and legal experts united in calling Monday’s raid unprecedented, there was little consensus on whether it could ruin Trump’s chances of a 2024 run — or even hand him a surefire victory.

Soon after Trump confirmed the raid — saying his Florida estate was “under siege” and “occupied” by the feds — many legal experts pointed to a law they said Trump could be hit with if he was convicted of taking classified presidential records, widely thought to be the potential federal violation the raid was investigating.

Marc Elias, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, highlighted it as a “really, really big reason why the raid today is a potential blockbuster in American politics.”
