Trump's Many Legal Worries

Here is a current definitive list of all of the current and potential legal actions that former President Donald Trump now faces following his arraignment in Miami yesterday.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA (MIAMI)

Former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities at the federal courthouse in Miami just before 2 pm/ET on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. He arrived with his personal valet and co-defendant, Walt Nauta, who was not able to file a plea with the court at that time because he has yet to obtain legal counsel.

The entire court hearing lasted approximately 45 minutes, and in that time Trump pleaded not guilty. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman, who was filling-in for Judge Aileen Cannon, set deadlines for federal prosecutors to turn over the evidence they've gathered to the defense. The court then adjourned until a later date.

For all of the details leading up to the two hour booking and arraignment, you can review my live tweets of the day here. If you are interested about what the next phase will be in the trial, specifically if Judge Aileen Cannon will recuse herself or can legally be forced off of the case, listen to my latest podcast here:

GEORGIA

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating whether Donald Trump used his position as president, and his allies, to illegally meddle in the 2020 election in Georgia. Her investigation has been ramping up, and Willis has indicated that she intends to file charges at the end of the summer, but the latest federal charges against Donald Trump in Florida may force Willis to press pause on her case.

On May 18, Willis sent a letter to 21 Fulton County officials, including Chief County Judge Ural Glanville and Sheriff Pat Labat, announcing remote work days for most of her staff during the first three weeks of August. In this most recent letter, she also requested that judges in the downtown Atlanta courthouse not schedule trials for August, as she prepares to bring charges in the inquiry at that time.
