On April 25th, Donald Trump is set to go on trial in a civil sexual assault case filed against him last year by E. Jean Carroll. She alleges that Trump raped her in the 1990s in a department store dressing room in Manhattan. In October, he will again go on trial along with three of his kids and his company in a $250 million fraud lawsuit brought by the New York Attorney General,. There's other litigation that predates his time in the White House. And it's not related to his political activities but it's more legal liability that he must face at some point.
There’s been a ton of news coverage and commentary around Donald Trump’s indictment in New York on Thursday. But the Manhattan case is only one of several criminal investigations and civil cases swirling around the former president—from the US Justice Department’s inquiry into the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol and the investigation of Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, to probes of Trump’s business practices.
Bloomberg legal reporters Zoe Tillman and Erik Larson join this episode to look beyond the Manhattan indictment and assess Trump’s other legal entanglements, and where things go from here.
