Trump’s legal cases, explained

This week Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president to ever be indicted on federal criminal charges. The 37 criminal counts Trump faces in this most recent federal arraignment come on the heels of a New York State indictment on 34 felony counts, among other legal challenges.

The two indictments that Trump is currently facing are just the beginning of what will “probably be the biggest stress test that the American justice system has faced in the nation's history,” Politico legal editor James Romoser told PBS NewsHour digital anchor Nicole Ellis.
