Mr Trump is currently facing 91 criminal counts in four separate prosecutions. These are:

• The Federal Election Interference Case – in Washington DC, he faces four felony counts for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is in federal court, which means he’s being tried under national, rather than state-level, laws. The former president has been accused of mounting a campaign to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the election in the two months from Election Day on 3 November 2020 to 6 Jan 2021, when the Capitol riot took place. He’s asking the Supreme Court to extend the delay in this trial, saying he is immune from prosecution because it involved actions he took while president.
• The Georgia Election Interference Case – in Georgia state court, Mr Trump faces 13 felony counts for his alleged election interference in that state. A recording obtained by ABC News showed Mr Trump asking Georgia’s Secretary of State to “find” the votes needed to win. Defence lawyers are currently arguing that a romance between Fani Willis (top prosecutor on the case) and the special prosecutor she hired to handle the case should disqualify them both from it. If Ms Willis is disqualified, it could postpone the trial until well after the 2024 election.
• The Classified Documents Case – in Florida federal court, Mr Trump faces 40 felony counts for allegedly hoarding classified documents after he left office and impeding the government’s efforts to retrieve them. Last year, Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Florida resort was searched and 11,000 documents were seized, including around 100 marked as classified and some labelled as top secret.
• The “Hush Money” Case – in New York state court, he faces 34 felony counts in connection with alleged hush money payments to an adult film star. A payment of  $130,000 (£104,000) was reportedly made before the 2016 presidential election to Stormy Daniels, who said she and Mr Trump had an affair. The former president has denied the affair. His former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has said he made the payment at Mr Trump’s direction. While such a payment is not illegal, spending money in order to help a presidential campaign but not disclosing it violates federal campaign finance law. Mr Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, has argued in pretrial motions that the payments to Mr Cohen were lawful money transfers from the former president’s own personal bank accounts.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges in all four prosecutions.
