A 12-person jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of his Manhattan criminal case, which was based on reimbursement checks Trump sent to ex-attorney Michael Cohen after Cohen paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election to silence her allegations of having an affair with Trump.
Federal Election Case (4 charges): Trump has been indicted on four counts in the federal case charging him for his efforts trying to overturn the 2020 election, including for conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights—a law that was originally created to prosecute members of the Ku Klux Klan but has more recently been used for election crimes.
Federal Classified Documents Case (40 charges): Trump was indicted on 40 felony counts in Florida for allegedly mishandling White House documents that he brought back to Mar-a-Lago and allegedly obstructing the government’s investigation into them, facing charges for the willful retention of national defense information, obstruction, concealing documents and making false statements and representations.
Georgia Election Case (10 charges): Trump was initially indicted on 13 felony charges in Georgia for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election—part of a sprawling alleged racketeering conspiracy with 18 of his allies also indicted—but Judge Scott McAfee threw out six charges, including three against Trump, in March, though prosecutors are appealing to have them reinstated.
Trump still faces charges for racketeering, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery, false statements and writings and filing false documents; the dropped charges were all for solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, which were based on Trump’s call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he asked Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to secure Trump’s win in the state.
