Trump can also be charged in three other criminal cases, none of that are expected to go to trial before the November election.
“In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump as he really is,” says the ad's narrator. Over images of a mug shot of Trump and Biden's high-five supporters, he adds: “This election is about a convicted criminal who only cares about himself and a president who is fighting for your family.”

He and his allies have also raised the prospect of Persecution of political opponents out of revenge when he returns to the White House.
