The long list of legal cases against Donald Trump

The former president faces 19 legal actions, from alleged financial improprieties to his role in the insurrection riots

Former president Donald Trump is facing a total of 19 legal actions - about half of which allege improper conduct during his presidency.

Most of the cases fall under three themes: financial wrongdoings that made him more money; his role in the January 6 2021 insurrection; and his alleged interference in the 2020 election. Trump has denied wrongdoing in most of these cases. He has filed motions to dismiss several of them and has filed countersuits in some cases.
