In 2023, four criminal indictments were filed against Donald Trump, president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Two indictments are on state charges (one in New York and one in Georgia) and two indictments (as well as one superseding indictment) are on federal charges (one in Florida and one in the District of Columbia). [1] These indictments amount to a total of 88 felony charges. [2] [3] The New York trial began on April 15, 2024. The District of Columbia trial was put on hold in February 2024 while waiting for the Supreme Court to determine whether Trump is immune from prosecution. The Georgia trial has not yet been scheduled, and the Florida trial is in flux awaiting a ruling from the judge.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. [4] [5] [6] [7] Neither the indictments nor any resulting convictions would disqualify his 2024 presidential candidacy. [8] [9] The Supreme Court separately addressed Trump's eligibility to be on the ballot and reversed all disqualifications by individual states. Felony disenfranchisement in Florida could bar Trump from voting in his home state. [10]
