Overview of Trump's Legal Troubles
Donald Trump is currently facing multiple criminal and civil cases, including defamation suits and fraud trials. These cases span federal and state levels, with charges ranging from racketeering to obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The outcome of these cases is uncertain, as there are various legal arguments being made, including debates over immunity, due process, and the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court's involvement in certain cases, such as the Colorado ballot ban, adds further complexity to the situation. The timelines for these cases are unclear, but they could potentially impact Trump's eligibility to hold office and his future involvement in politics.
