Former President Donald Trump Faces 91 Criminal Charges Across Four Indictments
A Georgia grand jury recently indicted former President Donald Trump and several of his allies over efforts to overturn the state’s election results in 2020. These 13 felony counts in Georgia are just a fraction of the charges the former president now faces after four criminal indictments in the last five months. Let’s take a closer look at each of these indictments and the charges against Trump.
Manhattan DA Case Indictment over Hush-Money Payment to Stormy Daniels
Back in March, a New York grand jury indicted Trump on 34 felony charges related to a $130,000 hush-money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. This indictment followed a lengthy investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and marked the first time a current or former US president has been criminally charged.
The Justice Department’s Investigation into Classified Documents Kept at Mar-a-Lago
In June, a federal grand jury indicted Trump on 37 charges related to allegations that he broke federal law by taking classified documents from the White House to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office in January 2021. Prosecutors claim that some of these documents contained top-secret national security information. These charges were the first-ever brought by the Justice Department against a current or former president. An updated indictment in July added two additional charges against Trump and named a third defendant in the case.
The Justice Department’s Investigation into 2020 Election Interference
A grand jury in Washington, DC, brought four federal charges against Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The 45-page indictment, unsealed on August 1, alleges that Trump attempted to obstruct Congress when he sought to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s win.
The Georgia RICO Case
Trump also faces a 41-count indictment in Georgia, where a grand jury charged him over his attempts to overturn his 2020 loss in the state to Joe Biden. 18 of his allies are also named in this indictment. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleges that Trump violated Georgia’s RICO statute. The charges stem from a years-long investigation into a phone call Trump had with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021, during which he asked Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes in his favor.

A Total of 91 Felony Charges since March
With these recent indictments, Trump has now accumulated a total of 91 felony charges since March. Remarkably, he continues to campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination while facing ongoing legal battles. The severity and number of charges against him raise significant questions about the future of his political career.
It’s crucial to note that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and due process should be followed throughout these legal proceedings.
