For those who need a scorecard to keep track of Trump's legal woes, I think I've found something.

There's a whole blog devoted to this.

Legal threats facing former President Donald J. Trump
https://trumpslegalproblems.webnode.com/

Out of office and without many of the legal protections the presidency afforded him, Donald J. Trump and his adult children, lawyers and businesses are facing multiple lawsuits as well as multiple criminal and civil investigations. Trump is also filing lawsuits against his many perceived enemies, including Facebook and his niece, Mary.

And now the former president is hinting strongly he will run again in 2024. In an interview with Fox News in November, 2021 Trump said, "I am certainly thinking about it and we'll see. I think a lot of people will be very happy, frankly, with the decision, and probably will announce that after the midterms."

A January, 2022 Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of Republicans showed the former president with a clear lead at 57%. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was a distant second with 12% and former VP Mike Pence third at 11%.

JustSecurity.org commented on how the multiple lawsuits and investigations faced by the former president might affect any future campaign. "These cases bear on two pressing questions. First, will Trump maintain his long streak of eluding legal liability in the face of so many lawsuits? Second, if Trump is held to account for illegal conduct, what impact will such a development have on his - and his family's - political and business fortunes?"


An index follows the above. It includes:

- lawsuits
- criminal indictment(s) (just one so far, but I'm sure there will be more)
- investigations
- partial settlement (just one so far)
- disposition of three Trump cases (others to be added as future events transpire)

There is commentary on each individual item, together with links to news and commentary sources used in the blog.

Apologies if this is old hat to anyone here. I was today years old when I discovered this thing, so it's all new to me!
