Business Fraud Charges in New York
In March, former President Donald Trump was indicted by the Manhattan district attorney. Trump faces 34 charges in New York for falsifying business records in the first degree. Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer allegedly paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to conceal her affair with Trump in October of 2016. Cohen will be a primary witness against Trump in the trial, which is currently scheduled for March. The prosecutors allege Trump conspired to illegally invalidate the results of the 2016 election. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Classified Documents in Florida
In June, Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami and currently faces 40 charges for allegedly mishandling federal documents and impediment on the authority’s process of retrieving documents. In August, the FBI uncovered 100 classified documents in Trump’s Mar-a-lago estate. Trump was also recorded on a phone call discussing a classified document he kept regarding a possible attack on Iran. The trial is slated for May 20, 2024. Trump and his aides Carlos De Oliveria and Walt Nauta have pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Election Interference in Washington
Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump on charges of election interference in 2020. Trump allegedly called lawmakers attempting to delay the validation of the election. The indictment also alleges that former Vice President Mike Pence attempted to delay Biden’s victory. Six anonymous co-conspirators have been detailed in the indictment. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four charges. The trial is set to begin on March 4, 2024. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, placed a gag order on Trump halting him from harassing Smith and his employees.

Election Meddling in Georgia
In August, Trump and his 18 allies were indicted in Georgia for attempting to delegitimize the results of the 2020 election. Trump currently faces 14 charges in a lengthy 100-page indictment. Trump’s infamous phone call with Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, in which he asked him to “find” the votes, has been a major piece of evidence for the prosecution. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four charges. The trial is set for March 4, 2024. Unlike the charges brought forth by Special Counsel Smith, Trump will be unable to pardon himself of these crimes if he is elected president and found guilty.
