Here is a list of legal troubles facing former US President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Trump, 77, denies any wrongdoing
Prosecutors accused Trump in an indictment unveiled on Tuesday of conspiring to defraud the U.S. by preventing Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 victory and to deprive voters of their right to a fair election.
Trump and his allies advanced claims of fraud they knew to be untrue, prosecutors said. The indictment says close advisers, including senior intelligence officials, told Trump repeatedly that the election results were legitimate. Photos included in the indictment show boxes of documents stored on a ballroom stage, in a bathroom and strewn across a storage-room floor.
Trump faces charges that include violations of the Espionage Act, which criminalizes unauthorized possession of defense information, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
