34 felonies he was convicted of in NY for falsifying business records with Stormy Daniels payments
Trump Org convicted of 17 felonies for criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records, etc
etc, etc (ie CFO and lawyer went to jail over it)
Criminal charges for Racketeering to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Georgia is an ongoing case
$454 mil in fraud damages from AG James Civil action
$100+ mil in damages, etc as adjudicated rapist (unanimous jury 2xs) of EJ Carroll (with about 26 other women accusing him of sexual assault)
Criminal charges for Mishandling of national security documents are suspended and may be revived
Criminal charges for Attempting to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election are suspended and may be revived
