Trump is facing numerous criminal and civil cases in courtrooms across the country.
Former President Donald Trump now faces 91 criminal charges stemming from four different cases, in both state and federal court.
There are also two others named in this case: a former Trump Tower doorman who was paid $30,000 to keep quiet on information that he claimed to have about Trump having a child out of wedlock; and former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, whom prosecutors say received $150,000 after claiming to have had an affair with Trump over a 10-month period.
The four counts, which include conspiracy and obstruction of an official government proceeding, were brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Smith alleges Trump and six unnamed co-conspirators orchestrated a scheme to stop the peaceful transfer of power after Trump lost the presidential election. Trump doesn’t just face federal charges related to election meddling in the 2020 election. In Georgia, state prosecutors indicted the former president and 18 others on Aug. 14.
In those cases, jail time is not on the table, but he could face fines or other financial penalties. Earlier this year, E. Jean Carroll won a civil suit against Trump, with a jury finding him liable for sexual battery. The claim stems from a mid-1990s encounter at a New York City department store, where Carroll claims Trump raped her. She contended that Trump defamed her by lying about the sexual assault.
James originally included not just Trump and the Trump Organization and executives, but his three eldest children, as well. Ivanka Trump has since been dismissed from the case as she was no longer part of the organization during the time James is alleging fraud. CELEBRITY APPRENTICE In the class-action lawsuit, brought in 2018, four anonymous investors claimed they lost hundreds or thousands of dollars investing with American Communications Network, a multi-level marketing firm.
