Summary/Abstract: Former U.S. President Donald Trump faces charges in four criminal cases but is nonetheless the leading candidate seeking the Republican Party’s nomination ahead of the 2024 presidential election. One or more guilty verdicts in the individual cases would carry serious legal consequences - including potentially imprisonment - but will not formally prevent him from running for or even taking office. Hoping to win election, Trump is likely to seek to drag out the cases to gain immunity.
