Trump will probably run for president again, according to Maggie Haberman of The New York Times.
But Haberman told CBS News that he might not finish the campaign.
Haberman was talking about her newest biography of Trump, "Confidence Man."
The former president Donald Trump will probably run for politics again in 2024, but he might not finish the race, according to Maggie Haberman of The New York Times.
In an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Haberman—who is promoting "Confidence Man," her biography of Trump—discussed the former president's political prospects in the midst of numerous continuing investigations into his businesses and office.

That doesn't imply that he will remain in the race the entire time, even if he declares his candidacy."
Trump is under investigation by several agencies, including the FBI, which is looking into whether he kept official records after leaving office, and the New York attorney general's office, which is looking into his commercial dealings.The investigations were dismissed by the previous president as being the work of his political adversaries. He allegedly thinks that running for politics once more could give him some defense against the inquiries.

Trump reportedly acknowledged carrying letters from Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, to Mar-a-Lago after leaving office, though he later walked back the assertion.
