On August 1, 2023, Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury on four criminal conspiracy and obstruction charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election.[1]

On August 14, 2023, he was indicted by a state grand jury in Georgia on 13 criminal charges also related to attempts to mess up the 2020 election.[2]

[edit]
See also: List of pending United States Supreme Court cases
  • Trump et al. v. Mazars et al. – The U.S. House of Representatives had subpoenaed the Mazars accounting firm to provide Trump's tax returns. Trump appealed to keep his financial information private.[3] In July 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court decided 7–2 to send the case back to evaluate the worthiness of the subpoena request. The case was not resolved before the 2020 elections. The Congressional subpoenas related to these cases expired with the end of the 116th Congress on January 3, 2021[4] and were reissued in the 117th Congress on February 23, 2021.[5]
  • Trump et al. v. Deutsche Bank et al. – Appeal lawsuit against the Deutsche Bank and Capital One Bank, seeking to prevent them from complying with the subpoenas issued to the company for Trump's, his adult children's, and his businesses' financial records. The subpoenas had been issued by the House Financial Services and Intelligence committees. The Supreme Court consolidated the case with Trump v. Mazars.[6]
  • Trump v. Vance – In July 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7–2 that the State of New York could issue a grand-jury subpoena of the President's financial records. The request was determined not to violate Article II or the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. After the court's ruling, Trump's team filed two legal complaints, both of which were rejected.
  • Donald J. Trump v. Committee on Ways and Means, et al.[7] – Case in D.C. court challenging the New York TRUST Act, which gives Congress the right to obtain tax information on New York residents. Case dismissed on November 11, 2019.
  • Donald J. Trump v. Mary L. Trump, et al.[8][9] – On September 22, 2021, Trump commenced a lawsuit in New York state court against The New York Times, several journalists and his niece, Mary L. Trump, for a 2018 article detailing his taxes and finances, which he claimed violated a 2001 settlement agreement signed by Mary. Trump sought at least $100 million in damages. In May 2023, the lawsuit was dismissed.[10] In January 2024, the court ordered Trump to pay the newspaper and three of its reporters over $392,000 for legal fees.[11]
  • Donald J. Trump and Trump Organization, LLC v. Letitia James in her official capacity as Attorney General for the State of New York[12] – On December 20, 2021, this complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief was filed in federal court against New York Attorney General Letitia James. It accused James of misconduct, by claiming that her involvement in the investigations into Trump and his corporation was motivated by a desire to target a political adversary and advance her career. The federal court dismissed Trump's lawsuit on 27 May 2022.[13] Trump immediately appealed on 31 May 2022, then dropped his appeal on 20 January 2023.[14]

Lawsuits around the United States Census

[edit]
  • Trump v. New York – On September 22, 2020, Trump sought an emergency action from the Supreme Court to rule on the matter before the results of the Census were due by December 31, 2020. On December 18, 2020, the Supreme Court dismissed the case.[15]
  • Trump v. Useche – On November 13, 2020, Trump sought an emergency action from the Supreme Court to rule on the matter before the results of the Census were due by December 31, 2020. On December 28, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled the case should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.[16]

Lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign

Trump's racketeering lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and others

[edit]

On March 24, 2022, Trump sued Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and 26 others,[29] alleging that they "maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty [Russia]" during the 2016 presidential election, and that Trump had lost at least $24 million as a result.[30] In the RICO lawsuit, he asked for a jury trial and $72 million in damages.[30][31][32][33]

In September, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks dismissed the suit, stating that it "ignored existing laws, U.S. Supreme Court precedent, and basic legal theory". The judge also wrote in a footnote that Trump had the lawsuit filed in the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, which has only one federal judge, district judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee.[34][35] Trump appealed the decision on October 11.[36]

On November 2, Clinton and the other defendants filed a motion in the district court asking for sanctions against Trump's attorneys and to make Trump pay their legal bills of more than $1 million.[37] On January 19, 2023, judge Middlebrooks sanctioned Trump and his attorney, Alina Habba, $938,000 to cover the legal costs for the 31 defendants Trump cited in the suit. Middlebrooks wrote, in part:

Here, we are confronted with a lawsuit that should never have been filed, which was completely frivolous, both factually and legally, and which was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose. Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries. He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer.[38]

On February 3, 2023, Trump offered to post a $1.03 million bond to appeal the judgment.[39] On February 27, 2024, Trump filed an appeal with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking to remove the sanctions and reinstate the original lawsuit.[40]

Lawsuits regarding the January 6, 2021, attack

[edit]
  • Trump v. Thompson, the United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol et al. – On October 18, 2021, Trump sued to block the release of White House records related to the January 6, 2021, riot. The lawsuit claimed that the House committee was illegitimate and that its request for the records was a partisan sham.[41][42] On January 19, 2022, the Supreme Court denied Trump's request without providing a reason. The next day, the National Archives and Records Administration released the White House documents to the committee.[43]
  • Trump v. the United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol et al. – On November 11, 2022, Trump sued the January 6 Committee to block a subpoena to testify before the committee.[44] Trump did not testify, and the committee dissolved when the new Congress convened on January 3, 2023.

Lawsuits for breach of contract

[edit]
  • On April 12, 2023, Trump sued his former attorney, Michael Cohen, for breach of contract. Trump sought $500 million in damages.[45] On July 31, 2023, Cohen's attorneys called Trump to sit for a deposition on September 6.[46] At a hearing on September 5, the deposition was moved to October 3. On October 5, after the deposition was delayed, a Trump attorney filed to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice (meaning it could later be resumed).[47]

Defamation lawsuits

[edit]
  • On October 3, 2022, Trump sued CNN in the Southern District of Florida, alleging that "CNN has sought to use its massive influence—purportedly as a 'trusted' news source—to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically." Trump's lawyers alleged CNN personalities used the term Big Lie to associate him with Adolf Hitler and sought $475 million in punitive damages.[48] On June 16, 2023, attorney Jim Trusty, who formerly represented Trump in the federal prosecution against him for allegedly mishandling confidential documents, also requested permission to withdraw from the CNN case, citing "irreconcilable differences" with his client.[49] Florida federal judge Raag Singhal dismissed the lawsuit in July 2023.[50][51]

Main articles: Pre-election lawsuits related to the 2020 United States presidential election and Post-election lawsuits related to the 2020 United States presidential election

Trump and his team filed dozens of lawsuits regarding the procedures in the 2020 presidential election and Joe Biden's victory. Georgia Cobb County and DeKalb County filed lawsuits to recover costs associated with what DeKalb County called "unsubstantiated and frivolous claims."[106]

In November 2020, the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization along with three black voters filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and his presidential campaign for allegedly disenfranchising black voters in Michigan.[107] The following month, the NAACP filed an amendment complaint, this time adding the Republican National Committee as a defendant, in which the civil rights organization accused Trump, his presidential campaign and the RNC of coordinated conspiracy to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters in targeted cities with large black populations, such as Atlanta, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.[108] On October 5, 2023, the trial was reassigned to Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, the judge who is also overseeing Donald Trump's federal election obstruction prosecution.[109]

In February 2021, U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers for conspiring to attack the Capitol.[110] In February 2022, a federal judge ruled that the lawsuit could proceed.[111]

In March 2021, U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-AL) for their actions on the day the U.S. Capitol was stormed.[112] In February 2022, a federal judge ruled that the lawsuit could proceed.[111]

Some civil lawsuits have attempted to hold Trump accountable for the attack on the U.S. Capitol. On December 1, 2023, a federal appeals court in Washington, DC ruled that these lawsuits may proceed. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan wrote the opinion; Greg Katsas concurred; Judge Judith Rogers partly concurred.

The decision specifically referred to three lawsuits by Capitol police officers and members of Congress:

  • Blassingame Compl. ¶¶ 150–228, J.A. 55–67
  • Swalwell Compl. ¶¶ 224–26, J.A. 127
  • Thompson Compl. ¶¶ 151–267, J.A. 178–200

Federal law prohibits conspiracy to prevent someone from holding federal office. The lawsuits are based on this law.[116][117]
