Donald Trump's legal team will look to challenge 'every potential issue' in his indictment once the charges are unsealed.
— Donald Trump's legal team will look to challenge"every potential issue" in his indictment once the charges are unsealed, an attorney for the former president said Sunday.
At times, the lawyers have vowed to ask for the charges to be dismissed. But the full slate of charges still aren't known. And crucially, a judge will ultimately determine if the law is sound enough for the case to move forward to trial. Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in the indictment. The investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office began when Trump was still in the White House and relates to a $130,000 payment made by his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels in late October 2016, days before the presidential election, to silence her from going public about an alleged affair with Trump a decade earlier.

Donald Trump isn't first ex-president to face legal troubleDonald Trump isn't the first president, in or out of office, to be in legal trouble. In 1974, Richard Nixon faced possible charges for a wide range of alleged wrongdoing in connection with Watergate. President Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon just weeks after Nixon resigned. Bill Clinton’s law license in his native Arkansas was suspended for five years as part of a deal with prosecutors in 2001, at the end of his second term, over allegations he lied under oath about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
