"Just Exactly Every Criminal Charge against former president Donald Trump, so far that is..."--Aphrodite Avidon, 7th Grade
Trump Georgia Case:
Trump and 17 of his colleagues were indicted on August 14, 2023. His colleagues include lawyers and campaigners for him, including former New York City mayor and lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, a federal prosecutor and attorney Sidney Powell, and lawyer Jenna Ellis. Both Powell and Ellis pleaded guilty in the case. Trump has 41 criminal charges in this criminal case alone.
Evidence was found on a phone call that Trump made false statements to Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Secretary of State, asking him to “find” 11,779 votes for him, just enough to win the state of Georgia’s electoral votes. Raffensperger, though a Republican, still refused to give him the requested nearly 12,000 votes. In the phone call, Trump claimed he would have won the election by approximately 36,354 votes, arguing that dead people voted and people with only post office boxes voted. He also said that when drop boxes were picked up for votes to be tallied it took almost 72 hours before they were delivered.
Trump is assumed to have committed violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act of Georgia, Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer, Conspiracy to Commit Impersonation of a Public Officer, Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree, and 8 more charges under the State of Georgia.
The case is in the hands of Judge Scott McAfee, who was appointed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia. Kemp is not supporting the Trump campaign, and agrees with Secretary of State Raffensperger and Governor Kemp, who are both victims of Trump’s phone calls.
January 6, 2021 Charges
Trump is facing 4 criminal charges for the January 6th Capitol Riots case. He’s been indicted for the case, with trials starting on February 9, 2024, and a gag order has been imposed.
The mob idea was expected to have started at Trump’s Save America rally in Washington, expected to be one of his largest rallies.
“Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back,” Trump said. “We’re going to have to fight much harder.” He planned the march, telling people to “cheer on” senators and congressmen. In an attempt to spread the word to many more people than just the attendance he posted about the march at his X (formerly twitter) account @realDonaldTrump, telling his 80 million followers to “fight like hell.” He also spoke pressuring his formerVice President Mike Pence to not ratify the election results in order to not let Joe Biden win, even though it was clear he would after every ballot was already counted.
This case was in fact the work of Trump and only Trump, he had no allies beyond the thousands of supporters that rioted for him. May the seven people who died on January 6 rest in peace.
Trump Classified Documents Case
After Trump’s departure from the White House, he stole documents presumed to have shown capabilities of American and foreign governments’ military, as well as defense plans against potential nuclear war, and plans for retaliation of an attack on the government. The documents were so highly classified that few people besides the President and high members of cabinet could see them. At the time, Trump had no legal jurisdiction because he was long out of office.
Trump kept the documents at places where guests at social gatherings were unlikely to find them. Investigators say they found documents in Trump’s office, the family suite, and various bathrooms. Supposably the Blue and Gold Ballroom was crammed to the top with cardboard boxes. Workers at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s exclusive resort in Palm Beach, who knew of the documents were told to not tell anyone of what they knew and had found, in risk of losing their job.
On January 17, 2022, nearly a year after Trump left office, the FBI asked for documents that Trump could have taken with him when he left office. He gave the FBI 15 boxes and 197 documents. Not nearly enough according to the FBI. Sometime before August 8th, 2022 the FBI was granted a search warrant to search the Mar-a-Lago Trump’s household. On the 8th day of August they did. The warrant was approved by US Attorney General Merrick Garland. The FBI came into the house, which Trump was not pleased with. By that time, most documents were in Trump’s private bathroom, “The Trump Suite,” an area that couldn’t be rented out by guests. In an attempt to stop the FBI from finding documents, Trump flushed papers down the toilet.
The trial is set for May 20, 2024. The judge is Aileen Cannon, Florida District Court Judge for Southern Florida. She was appointed by Trump himself. Cannon is not hiding her bias towards Trump at all. Various petitions to remove Cannon as judge for the case collectively have almost 15,000 signatures. There are two co-defendants, Carlos De Oliveira and Walt Nauta, who are both workers at Mar-a-Lago. De Oliveria is the property manager at Mar-a-Lago. They both rely on Trump to help with legal fees.
Manhattan Criminal Case
In 2016, Trump allegedly had an extramarital affair with a pornography star, Stormy Daniels who was 37 at the time. In risk of influencing the 2016 presidential election against Hillary Clinton, he paid a $130,000 payment to her in exchange for her signing a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. There was word of Daniels and Trump having an affair before, in 2006 Life and Style Magazine published an article about an alleged affair between the porn star and Trump. Daniels confirmed the affair in an interview with tabloid In Touch Weekly, but the article wasn’t published because Michael Cohen, one of Trump’s attorneys threatened to sue the magazine. It is unknown if Daniels signed an NDA regarding this specific affair in 2006.
Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg is leading the case. Bragg is an African-American democrat who grew up in Manhattan and graduated from Trinity, an elite New York private school where he was granted an academic scholarship. He later graduated from Harvard and led the Black Student’s Association. He came back to Harvard to graduate from law school and worked up his way to become an associate for state prosecutors before winning one of the closest elections to become the Manhattan D.A. Trump was convinced the case was unfair because “Democrats outnumber Republicans 10 to 1 in New York City.'' Bragg responded with a statement that “everyone stands equal under the law.” Fox News made a statement saying that “The only people more clueless than Alvin Bragg are his supporters.”
Trump has made a not-guilty plea and hearings are scheduled to resume on January 4, 2024.
