Professor Nahon-Serfaty can talk about this topic from a communication standpoint.

“I think these scandals and judicial processes help Trump to reinforce his popularity among his most radical supporters. He is seen as a 'victim' of the system, a system supposedly controlled by democrats and pro-liberal corporations, politicians, judges, etc. These situations are seen as a confirmation of conspiracy theories and plots to prevent Trump to become president again.”

Professor Levasseur can comment on how the media spin on a legal proceeding – why is this possible?

"What are the social consequences on presenting a partial legal system in the prosecution world? If this is a great violation of fundamental democratic rights and how can we manage the implication of the false perception created by the political message?"
