As of now, New York State has paused the Jan. 6 charges, they may resume prosecuting once his term has ended. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/08/us/politics/jack-smith-trump-jan-6-case.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YU4.HKKM.hWuI1zlrJwqB https://www.law.virginia.edu/news/202301/can-presidents-be-prosecuted-or-sued-professor-explains-differing-visions-immunity
