Trump's Felony Charges: What You Need To Know — Explained

A wave of unprecedented criminal charges against former President Donald Trump has left the nation reeling, sparking intense debate and hand-wringing over the implications for the country's democracy. As the Justice Department continues to investigate various aspects of Trump's dealings, here's a breakdown of the key charges, what they entail, and what they might mean for his future.

The New York Times reported on January 31, 2023, that former President Donald Trump is facing a long list of felony charges, including tax evasion and campaign finance violations. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and said he will "fight the charges all the way to the Supreme Court." The Wall Street Journal, however, reported that Trump's lawyers claimed they had "evidence" that the charges were "politically motivated." Furthermore, Trump's lawyer Dan Scavino stated that the ex-President is "confident in his innocence" and will not "cooperate" with the Department of Justice.

The numerous charges pertain to Trump's business dealings and personal conduct. For instance, a case in New York involves high-stakes accounting for over $10 million, involving the Trump Organization's unwitting use of " shell" companies. This was described by former Attorney General, David Donnelly, as an "extensive tax evasion" operation."​

Key allegations of federal violations follow.
