Trump’s four criminal indictments list a total of 91 counts. January 2, 2024, is the proposed trial date in a federal case charging Trump with crim­inal con­spir­acy to reverse his 2020 election loss and Capitol riots which followed.

March 4, the proposed trial date in the Georgia racketeering case, occurs just one day before Super Tuesday, when voters in 15 states, including California and Texas, select their Republican Party nominee for president.

March 25 will start a New York criminal trial in which prosecutors allege that Trump repeatedly falsified business records to hide hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

May 20 is the expected trial date for the classified documents inquiry. The indictment accuses Trump of violating the Espionage Act by keeping secret material at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

The civil cases include a sexual harassment case, a fraud case, and a suit against Trump, seeking to have him declared ineligible to seek the White House under the 14th Amendment.
