Part 9/12:
Mainstream media outlets are wading into damage control. Politico attempts to downplay evidence irregularities, framing them as minor mishaps. CNN and others acknowledge the cases' fragility, with some pundits suggesting Trump has already "won" because the prosecutions are imploding.
This media recalibration indicates a recognition that the initial political narrative is crumbling, and that the legal crusades are increasingly devoid of substance.
Impact and Prognosis
With the indefinite postponement of the classified documents trial and the collapse of other charges, the case files against Trump are effectively emptying. The judge’s decisions have rendered future trials unlikely before the election, possibly preventing federal charges altogether.
