On Tuesday evening local time, former US President Trump delivered a speech at his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey urging the special prosecutor to withdraw the charges against him. Trump insisted on his innocence and stated that he had the right to retain the documents discovered at the Sealake Estate.

"I am not the kind of person who believes that I am above the law, I am someone who abides by the law," Trump said in his speech. "I have full authority over these documents. The decision to separate personal information from presidential records is made by the president, and it is up to the president to make his own decisions."

Trump also explained that many people asked him why he kept those boxes.

"Because these boxes contain a lot of personal items, clothes, shoes, and all kinds of things," Trump said. "Checking all the boxes takes a long time, and I plan to do that, but my life is very busy."

Earlier that day, Trump made his first appearance in the Miami Federal Court in Florida regarding the confidential documents case and pleaded not guilty to 37 charges against the prosecution.

Is it difficult for prosecutors to expedite their "fast trial"?

Smith, the special prosecutor who brought charges against Trump, said he is seeking a federal "expedited trial" procedure. The Federal Rapid Trial Act stipulates that the government must submit a case for trial within 70 days after prosecution. However, the regulations also allow for an extension of this deadline.

Legal experts say that defendants in criminal cases often give up the right to a quick trial because they may find it difficult to prepare them adequately for the trial. Experts say that after obtaining exemption from expedited trials, the Trump team can raise legal challenges on a series of issues, further delaying the trial time. After holding multiple rounds of hearing briefings before the trial, the appellate court may postpone the trial for several months.

Trump's former private lawyer stated that federal courts in southern Florida are known as "rocket handling" due to their rapid trial, but Trump's legal team is likely to propose a series of motions and challenges to postpone his trial.

"I don't think this will happen within a year," said former lawyer for Trump, Palatur. "I can foresee multiple rounds of substantial motion dismissals. Each round of motion takes three months."

Trump, who will turn 77 on Wednesday this week, said he will not accept the prosecution's plea agreement and will not give up the election. "I will never withdraw," Trump said in an interview with American media after being sued.

Will Trump be pardoned?

After Trump appeared in court on the same day, several Republican presidential candidates claimed that Trump should be pardoned.

Republican presidential candidate and technology entrepreneur Ramaswamy, who went to the trial on the same day, held a press conference outside the court and demanded that all other Republican candidates promise to pardon Trump as soon as he is elected president.

Another presidential candidate, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Haley, criticized Trump's hoarding of documents as "reckless" on the same day, but stated that she "tends" to pardon him.

However, not all Republicans agree to pardon Trump.

Former Arkansas Governor Hutchinson, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, said on Sunday that promising a preemptive pardon to former President Trump is wrong.

"It is completely wrong for candidates to use the pardon power of the President of the United States to win votes and receive applause." Hutchinson said, "We should not compromise and provide a fig leaf for amnesty, as it would undermine our jury system." Hutchinson said that the idea of offering amnesty to Trump before the trial was "offensive.".

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stated at a New Hampshire City Hall event that he is not inclined to pardon Trump, partly because he has not yet seen the indictment.

"As a prosecutor, I would tell you that if I believe the defendants have received a comprehensive and fair trial before a jury, especially if they committed these crimes in public trust, I cannot imagine pardoning them," Christie said.

When asked by the media whether he would comment on Trump's criminal prosecution that day, President Biden loudly replied "No". Biden previously stated that he had not discussed Trump's recent legal disputes with Attorney General Garland, and there were no plans to do so. "I haven't talked to him at all, and I won't talk to him either," Biden said.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
