Abstract

The article focuses on the challenges and prospects of holding former President Donald Trump and his administration accountable for alleged abuses, corruption, and violations of law during his second term. It outlines the limitations imposed by the 2024 Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. United States, which grants broad presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, thereby making criminal charges unlikely while Trump is in office. Consequently, impeachment, civil lawsuits, professional sanctions, and congressional actions against Trump and his associates are emphasized as primary tools for accountability. The article also explores potential international legal consequences, including prosecution under universal jurisdiction and by the International Criminal Court, for alleged crimes committed by Trump administration officials. It highlights the need for a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving domestic and international mechanisms to address the political and legal ramifications of Trumpism.
