Donald Trump's Legal Woes: A Timeline of Investigations and Indictments
Federal Investigations
Former President Donald Trump has been the subject of numerous federal investigations since his time in office. One of the most high-profile investigations is the one being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller's investigation has already led to the indictment of several Trump associates, and it is still ongoing.
State Investigations
Trump is also facing investigations at the state level. The New York Attorney General's office is investigating Trump's charitable foundation, the Trump Foundation. The investigation is looking into whether Trump used the foundation for personal gain. The Manhattan District Attorney's office is also investigating Trump's business dealings. The investigation is looking into whether Trump committed financial crimes, such as fraud and money laundering.
Congressional Investigations
Congress is also investigating Trump. The House of Representatives is investigating Trump's ties to Russia. The Senate Intelligence Committee is also investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether Trump obstructed justice during the Mueller investigation.
Indictments
Trump has not been indicted on any federal charges. However, he has been indicted on state charges. In December 2021, Trump was indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office on charges of falsifying business records. The charges stem from Trump's alleged efforts to cover up hush money payments made to women who claimed to have had affairs with him.
Legal Battles
Trump is fighting all of the investigations and indictments against him. He has denied any wrongdoing and has accused his accusers of being politically motivated. Trump's legal battles are likely to continue for years to come.
