What happened: While Donald Trump has successfully exerted influence in some areas, his attempts to initiate legal action against political opponents have largely fallen short.
Why it matters:
- It highlights limits to political power even for former presidents.
- The outcome affects the legal and political landscape for Trump and his rivals.
MNN Take: Trump’s experience shows that using power to seek legal retribution is complex and not always effective, reflecting the checks within the US justice system.
