But he is not below the law either. He gets the same exact rights that any other criminal suspect gets, regardless if we'd like it to move faster.
The old saying of the "wheels of justice spin slowly" unfortunately goes works for Trump, just as it may benefit everyone else at some point.
When all of these lawsuits came out the experts were saying they would never be settled before the election, and it looks like that will be the case.
