My words: Read about the Trump cases and where they stand:

'If the failure to swiftly prosecute Trump enabled his election, then his election seems to guarantee that he will never face accountability for the acts he committed, including those for which he has already been convicted of 34 felonies....What follows is a summary of the major legal cases against Trump, assessments of the gravity of the charges, and the prognosis. This guide will be updated as necessary.

New York State: Fraud
Manhattan: Defamation and Sexual Assault
Manhattan: Hush Money
Department of Justice: Mar-a-Lago Documents
Fulton County: Election Subversion'

Once upon a time, cases were filed in more than 30 states over whether Trump could even appear on the 2024 ballot under a novel legal theory about the Fourteenth Amendment. Proponents, including J. Michael Luttig and Laurence H. Tribe in The Atlantic, argued that the former president was ineligible to serve again under a clause that disqualifies anyone who took an oath defending the Constitution and then subsequently participated in a rebellion or an insurrection. They said that Trump’s attempt to steal the 2020 election and his incitement of the January 6 riot meet the criteria.

The Supreme Court conclusively disagreed. The justices ruled unanimously on March 4 that states could not remove Trump from the ballot, and appear on the ballot he did. Trump is set to be sworn in as the 47th president on January 20, 2025.'
