I'm not the best researcher, but I can find no indication that a candidate for an office cannot still run for that office even while attending his or her own criminal trial . . . .

The Constitution is very clear on the eligibility requirements for President and Vice President.

Federal statutes might prevent people convicted of certain crimes from holding lower elected offices but these statutes do not overrule the Constitution as it pertains to President and Vice President.

Convicted, yes . . . but IN a trial ?
