00:00
He's the first president in the history of the United States to be indicted.
00:06
And how?
00:08
Donald Trump has been charged with almost 80 felony counts across three criminal cases,
00:13
perhaps soon to be four.
00:17
In Washington DC, he's been charged with four federal crimes for trying to overturn the
00:21
2020 election.
00:23
Trump's efforts to undermine Joe Biden's victory culminated in the storming of the Capitol
00:27
by his supporters on January 6th.
00:30
On the 3rd of August this year, he pled not guilty to the charges, which include conspiracy
00:34
to deprive citizens of the right to have their vote counted and scheming to defraud the United
00:39
States.
00:43
In Florida, Donald Trump is accused of stashing sensitive national security documents at his
00:48
Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving the White House, obstructing attempts to retrieve them.
00:54
Since this June, Trump's been charged with 40 felonies and a trial is set for May 20th
00:59
next year.
01:03
In New York, Trump is alleged to have falsified business records related to money paid to
01:08
porn star Stormy Daniels, who claimed she had an affair with Trump.
01:12
Prosecutors say Trump bought her silence to avoid a scandal during the 2016 presidential
01:17
campaign, disguising the payments as corporate expenses in violation of state law.
01:23
In April, 34 felony counts were brought against Trump and a trial is set for the 25th of March
01:28
next year.
01:32
Finally in Georgia, charges could be revealed this summer over Trump's attempts to overturn
01:36
the result of the presidential election in that state.
01:40
A criminal investigation was opened in February 2021 into Trump's lies about voter fraud,
01:45
efforts to convince officials to overturn Biden's win and his plot to submit fraudulent
01:50
certificates claiming that he'd won.
01:53
One jury recommended indictments in January.
01:56
Criminal charges must now be approved by another jury.
