A guide to Donald Trump’s four criminal cases

BBC:

Donald Trump is heading towards an election rematch with Joe Biden in November, and this time he will do so as a convicted felon.

The 77-year-old is the first former president in US history to be criminally tried and convicted. He was found guilty of falsifying business records in relation to a hush-money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.

He faces three more criminal cases that have not been tried yet.

Trump has also been embroiled in civil cases relating to, among other things, the business empire that made his name. There are crucial legal appeals playing out too, including one on whether he is immune from prosecution.

It’s a complicated legal picture.

Here, we’ll focus on the four criminal cases and explain what could happen next and, crucially, what’s at stake as he seeks to return to the White House.
