For the better part of the last year or so, former President Donald Trump's legal issues seemed, to many, insurmountable. 

However, over the past several months, that situation has drastically changed, and Trump and his lawyers keep scoring massive, profound legal wins.

According to Newsweek, the latest boon for the Trump legal defense was news that Special Counsel Jack Smith decided not to pursue a "mini-trial" against Trump to present evidence in the federal election interference case ahead of the November election.

Trump and his legal team's primary goal, according to many legal experts, was to stall and delay as many cases/trials as possible before the election.

What's going on?

The news was huge for Trump and his lawyers, as it means the public will not hear evidence and testimony related to the election interference case before the November election.

News of Smith's refusal to move forward with the mini-trial was reportedly leaked to Bloomberg, according Newsweek.

Newsweek noted:

People familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Bloomberg that Smith's office is instead "carefully revising the case" against the former president. The case was held up for months pending the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's arguments that he is protected from facing criminal charges under presidential immunity.

The U.S. Supreme Court's immunity ruling was also a smashing win for Trump's legal defense, as it completely rocked the cases against him, particularly those pursued by Smith.

Smith also took a critical hit earlier this year after the judge in the Mar-a-Lago documents case ruled that he was appointed unconstitutionally, which all but killed that case against the former president.

The news is especially great for Trump because if he wins the White House in November, the cases against him will ultimately likely go away.

Dismissed?

Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, explained to Newsweek why the latest news bodes well for the former and potentially future president.

"If he is reelected, the cases have to be dismissed because a sitting president can't be prosecuted," Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told Newsweek via email.

She added, "And even if he loses the election, Trump will continue to try to delay and litigate issues like presidential immunity and Smith's appointment in both the trial and appellate courts because he's had success doing so."

For now, Trump seems to be in the clear as far as trials ahead of the election. Let's hope it stays that way.
