Trump currently grapples with multiple indictments, including charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. These federal and state charges create a storm cloud over his hopes for a White House encore.
In D.C., he’s charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy against the right to vote. These charges stem from his efforts to obstruct the 2020 election’s vote count and certification. He also faces charges related to obstructing Congress’ certification of the Electoral College on January 6, 2021.
A Legal Maze
Trump has pled not guilty to these four charges and is set to face trial in March, where he’ll argue that presidential immunity shields him from prosecution.
Meanwhile, he faces additional federal charges in Florida, where he’s accused of pilfering national defense documents concerning other countries’ military operations and nuclear secrets, later concealing them from prosecutors.
In Georgia state court, Trump grapples with racketeering charges connected to his attempts to manipulate the state’s election results. New York state court charges him with falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
