27% : But his lawyer has already said he will seek to pause any legal activity related to Trump based on an argument that a president should not face the burden of a criminal prosecution while in office.

25% : Trump and some of his co-defendants have asked a Georgia appeals court to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the lead prosecutor, from the case over her alleged misconduct stemming from a romantic relationship she had with a former deputy.
