Will Trump still face lawsuits? Will he use Justice Department to sue his enemies? Some worry that his administration’s priorities could have troubling implications for the rule of law.

“For all intents and purposes, his criminal prosecutions are over,” says Jeffrey Cohen , a former federal prosecutor.

Reports emerged Wednesday that Justice officials are exploring how to wind down the federal criminal cases against him.

Both cases have undergone over a year of pre-trial litigation.

If those cases were to be ongoing when he enters office, experts say, Mr. Trump wouldn’t be able to end them himself.
