Former President Donald Trump is facing multiple trials, both civil and criminal, on various charges. Here is a summary of the notable cases involving him:
-
Georgia Criminal Inquiry: Trump is facing a criminal inquiry in Georgia on charges that he tried to subvert the 2020 presidential election. No trial date has been set yet.
-
Classified Documents Trial: Trump is facing trial on charges that he hid classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructed government efforts to get them back. The trial is currently scheduled for May 20, 2024, but the judge has indicated that she may delay it due to the other criminal cases Trump is facing.
-
New York Civil Case: Trump is on trial in a $250 million lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, alleging that he and his co-defendants committed fraud in inflating assets on financial statements. The trial began on October 2, 2023, and is expected to last into December. If James prevails at trial, a judge could order Trump to pay a financial settlement.
-
2020 Election Fraud Case: Trump is facing another criminal case brought by a special counsel, Jack Smith, on charges that he schemed to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The trial is scheduled for March 2024 in Washington, D.C. .
-
Other Charges: In addition to the above cases, Trump is also facing charges of fraudulently covering up hush money payments, refusing to return sensitive government secrets, and fudging the value of his properties to get better loan terms.
It is worth noting that Trump has referred to some of these cases as politically motivated "witch hunts" and has made threatening statements about the prosecutors involved.
