In June, Trump faced indictment for mishandling confidential documents in his Florida residence. Allegations include utilizing aides and attorneys to conceal records from investigators and carelessly displaying classified military plans. July saw a superseding indictment, adding charges of requesting deletion of Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage after a June 2022 visit from federal investigators. Trump also faces charges for unlawfully retaining a document allegedly shown to guests in New Jersey. Trump is charged with 40 felonies in this classified documents case, with the gravest charge leading to up to two decades of imprisonment. Walt Nauta, Trump’s valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, his Florida estate’s property manager, have been indicted for attempting to hide surveillance footage and providing false information. Both Trump and Nauta have entered not guilty pleas, while De Oliveira’s arraignment is set for Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon set May 20, 2024, as the trial date, coinciding with the presidential nomination schedule, possibly after the Republican candidate is apparent but prior to the official nomination. Election Interference In August, Trump was indicted on felony charges relating to efforts to overturn the 2020 election outcome, culminating in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The indictment, comprising four counts, includes conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and conspiracy to hinder the congressional certification of Biden’s victory. Prosecutors describe Trump’s false claims of victory and his attempts to persuade state officials, Vice President Pence, and Congress to reject the legitimate results. Following continuous misinformation regarding the election outcome, Trump is alleged to have exploited Capitol violence to further delay his defeat’s validation. The indictment mentions unidentified co-conspirators who allegedly cooperated with Trump in devising unlawful strategies to overturn the election results. Trump’s campaign labeled the charges as untrue, questioning the delay in bringing them. Hush Money Scheme Trump became the first U.S. former president to face criminal charges when he was indicted in March in New York on state charges linked to payments to suppress allegations of extramarital relations during the 2016 campaign. Facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, Trump pleaded not guilty. These charges are connected to checks reimbursing his attorney Michael Cohen for payoffs to Stormy Daniels, who claimed a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. He is next due in state court on Jan. 4. New York Civil Cases New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Organization, accusing them of deceiving banks and tax authorities about asset values to obtain loans and tax advantages. If victorious, James could impose civil penalties and a $250 million fine, plus a prohibition on Trump conducting business in New York. A civil trial is slated for October. In a distinct federal civil case in New York, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and slandering former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Trump was directed to pay $5 million to Carroll. He has appealed and consistently refuted her claims. In July, a federal judge upheld the jury’s verdict against Trump, dismissing his assertions that the award was unwarranted.
