Capitol riot & 2020 election
Trump is accused of illegally conspiring to overturn his
2020 election defeat to Joe Biden.
Federal prosecutors allege he pressured officials to reverse
the results, knowingly spread lies about election fraud and sought to exploit
the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021 to delay the certification of Biden's
victory and stay in power.
This trial has been postponed while the Supreme Court
considers whether he can claim presidential immunity or not.
Georgia 2020 Election
This is another case that could be dropped, depending on the
Supreme Court’s decision on immunity.
Trump and some 18 other defendants are accused of criminally
conspiring to overturn his very narrow defeat in the state of Georgia in the
2020 election.
Classified documents
And this trial could also be dropped if the Supreme Court
rules in Trump’s favour.
He is accused of mishandling classified documents by taking
them from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence after he left office.
Here’s a full guide to Donald Trump’s four criminal cases.
