Trump's three indictments are not the end of his legal troubles [View all]

TFG has a ton of legal issues to deal with

Yes, Trump has been indicted three times, but there’s no reason to assume this constitutes the end of his legal troubles. Revisiting our earlier coverage, let’s recap.

The most important indictment is special counsel Jack Smith charging the former president for his alleged post-defeat crimes. This case, as far as I'm concerned, deals with the biggest scandal in American history.
Smith has also indicted Trump as part of the former president’s classified documents scandal.
In New York, the Republican has also been indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, as part of its investigation into the former president’s hush-money-to-a-porn-star scandal.
And in Georgia, Trump is under investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, which is scrutinizing his alleged efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.

This does not include a variety of civil cases pending against the former president, including the sweeping case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. In fact, though this was largely overshadowed by Smith’s charges, James announced within hours of Trump’s latest indictment that her office’s case “is ready for trial.”

Trump is also facing several lawsuits filed by police officers injured during the Jan. 6 attack, and the defamation cases filed by E. Jean Carroll.
