Trump was indicted on 40 felony charges linked to his alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, which is set to go to trial in May 2024. Trump was also charged with four crimes connected to his alleged role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election.
On Monday, a grand jury in the state of Georgia also indicted Trump on 13 more charges linked to his actions following the 2020 election.

Moreover, Trump is facing 34 charges for making alleged hush money payments to pornography actress Stormy Daniels and others.
If convicted on all 91 criminal charges, Trump could face a maximum sentence of more than 700 years in prison, although it is unclear how the sentences would be served or if he would be imprisoned at all.
Prior to the Georgia indictment, Trump claimed to be facing up to 561 years in prison for the first three indictments.
In addition, Trump is facing civil action by the state of New York for alleged improper financial conduct, as well as a sexual abuse and defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Trump has repeatedly condemned the charges against him, characterizing the cases as a weaponization of the US justice system against him in the lead up to the 2024 US presidential election. Trump currently leads the pack of Republican candidates seeking the party’s nomination despite the ongoing criminal cases.
