ANDFormer US president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges of those who accused him in New York of falsifying business records to silence his affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels and thus protect his presidential run in 2016.
The jury, made up of seven men and five women, in the criminal trial in New York that Trump faced unanimously determined the verdict this Thursday. This is the first time in the country’s history that a former president has been convicted of a crime.
However, this case is not the only one facing the republican. He currently has three other legal problems that stand in the way of his attempt to once again assume the presidency of the United States.
Florida: secret documents in the basement
However, the trial was postponed indefinitely in May by the judge in charge of the case, Aileen Cannon, pending the resolution of other litigation, making it highly unlikely that the process – in which Trump has pleaded not guilty – take place before the November elections.
Around the same time, Cannon also rejected an attempt by the New York mogul’s lawyers to dismiss the case on the grounds that the documents found in his possession were his private property.

Washington DC: the assault on the Capitol
The former president is accused of several crimes that could lead to a maximum of 55 years in prison and the trial was scheduled for March 4, but his lawyers managed to muddle the case to the point that it will hardly be held before the elections. November.

The defense alleges that Trump is protected by so-called presidential immunity and has managed to open a parallel lawsuit in this regard that must be resolved first. However, the country’s highest judicial authority has never ruled on such an issue given that a former president had never been criminally charged.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, with three of its nine members nominated by Trump himself, its decision to accept the case already represented a victory for the Republican because it delayed the trial on the assault on the Capitol.
Georgia: a mafia organization
The Republican is accused along with 18 accomplices of forming a mafia organization to try to overturn the elections in Georgia, where he lost against Biden by a narrow margin.
That sparked litigation and a scandal that ended with Wade’s resignation and delayed the trial against Trump, for which a date has not yet been set.
