Trump’s 88 criminal charges and where they stand
As of March 2024, Donald Trump has been personally charged with 88 criminal offenses in four criminal cases. This total reflects charges related to Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, election interference in Georgia, falsifying business records in New York, and mishandling classified records after leaving the presidency. Donald Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to be criminally indicted.

On March 30, 2023, a Manhattan grand jury approved a thirty-four count felony indictment against Trump for falsifying business records in the first degree in connection with his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, made through Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen and reported as legal expenses. The trial date is set for April 15, 2024.
On June 9, 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with thirty-seven felonies related to his handling and refusal to return hundreds of documents containing classified information. He also charged Trump’s personal aide Walt Nauta with several felonies for his alleged role in handling the documents. On July 27, 2023, a grand jury issued a superseding indictment alleging additional charges against Trump, Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira, the head of maintenance at Mar-a-Lago, alleging they conspired to delete security footage. The trial is set for May 20, 2024.
On August 1, 2023, Smith charged Trump with four federal criminal counts after a grand jury investigation into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, culminating in the January 6th insurrection. In October 2023, Trump claimed in the case that he had absolute immunity from prosecution for actions he took as president but Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, the trial judge in the case, rejected Trump’s claim of absolute immunity, finding that “neither the Constitution nor American history supported the contention that a former president enjoyed total immunity from prosecution.” Trump appealed the ruling. Following the Supreme Court’s refusal of Smith’s request to immediately intervene, the D.C. Circuit heard oral argument on Trump’s immunity claim on January 9, 2024 and ultimately ruled that Trump does not have broad immunity from federal prosecution. Trump appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.
On August 14, 2023, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged Trump and 18 others in a 41-count indictment after a two-year grand jury investigation into election fraud and related offenses in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election and after. The charges against Trump include solicitation of a violation of an oath by a public officer in response to Trump’s call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump pushed him to “find” votes and reverse his loss in the state. While Trump has pleaded not guilty, no trial date has been set and he is making similar immunity arguments here as well.
These charges against Trump are the sign of a healthy democracy and a victory for the rule of law. Holding public office is a deep and sacred responsibility that demands the highest standard of ethical conduct. In order to maintain the public’s trust, elected officials must follow the law; when elected officials break those laws, they must face consequences – just like anyone else. And when an elected official attempts to silence the voice of the people by overturning the results of an election, the bedrock of democratic government, the need for accountability is at its apex.
Although these legal actions may raise political tensions in an already-polarized landscape, the alternative – allowing elected officials to act with impunity and escape consequences for their conduct – is far more devastating. Indeed, choosing not to pursue accountability for fear of political criticism or consequences would itself be a deeply political act.
The table below reflects the current status of each of these indictments against Trump and his co-defendants, including the respective courts of jurisdiction, charges, whether or not gag orders have been imposed on Trump and expected trial dates.
