Arrests

In 2023, four criminal indictments were filed against Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Two indictments are on state charges (one in New York and one in Georgia) and two indictments (as well as one superseding indictment) are on federal charges.[1] These indictments amount to a total of 91 felony charges.[2] Trials are scheduled to begin in March and May 2024, while the Georgia trial has not yet been scheduled.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.[3][4][5][6] Neither the indictments nor any resulting convictions would disqualify his 2024 presidential candidacy;[7][8] the Supreme Court will separately address his eligibility to be on the ballot. Felony disenfranchisement in Florida could bar Trump from voting in his home state.[9]

A March 2023 indictment in New York, in which Trump faces 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.[2] The trial is scheduled for March 25, 2024.[10]

June 2023 federal indictment in Florida

A June 2023 federal indictment related to classified government documents, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in which Trump faces 40 criminal charges alleging mishandling of sensitive documents and conspiracy to obstruct the government in retrieving these documents.[2][11] The trial is scheduled for May 20, 2024.[12]

August 2023 federal indictment in Washington, D.C.

An August 2023 federal indictment related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in which Trump faces four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.[2] The trial is scheduled for March 4, 2024.[13]

August 2023 indictment in Georgia

An August 2023 indictment in Georgia, in which Trump faces 13 criminal charges related to alleged attempts to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia, alongside 18 accused co-conspirators.[14] The trial is not yet scheduled.[2]
