Donald Trump is not the first american president involved in legal and ethical scandals, but it does occupy a historical place as being the first indicted on criminal charges.

With the Grand Jury indictment for an investigation related to a payment of $130,000, which would have been raised in the 2016 presidential campaign, to porn actress Stormy Daniels to allegedly buy his silence so that his alleged sexual relationship would not be made public, Trump could face more than thirty charges. This data is not yet definitive and could be known in the coming days.

Before arriving at this situation, which Trump defines as a “witch hunt” by the Democratic sector, the former president of the United States has been involved in other processes and investigations, for economic, sexual and also political crimes.

His role in the assault on the Capitol

His role in the assault on the Capitol in 2021 is one of the most famous. It was last November when he started a parliamentary committee set up to investigate what happened and resolve whether Trump was an instigator of the assault.

On December 19, the congressional committee presented its final report, calling on the Biden Government Justice Department to criminally charge the former president for crimes such as starting an insurrection, obstructing official proceedings and making false statements. He also urged Congress to block Trump from running in the 2024 elections. The Justice Department is still investigating and has not yet decided whether to charge Trump.

Theft of classified documents

Another of the investigations that Trump is facing is the one that has to do with the theft of classified documents of the White House upon leaving the presidency.

It is being investigated whether the former president improperly retained these documents at your residence in Mar-a-Lago (Florida). This past August, this farm was the scene of a historic raid in which the FBI recovered thousands documents with classified informationwhich include material from the CIA, the National Security Agency and the FBI.

Alleged electoral ‘rigging’ in Georgia

On the other hand, it is being investigated whether Trump was able to interfere in the results of the Georgia state elections in 2020.

On January 2, 2021, Trump called Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who asked to “find” the votes to nullify Biden’s victory in the general election.

Reported for a violation

The journalist E. Jean Carroll denounced to former President Donald Trump rape her almost 30 years ago, after opening a special period in the state of New York to seek justice for sexual crimes that had prescribed.

taking advantage of the New York Adult Survivors Law, the author asks to submit the ex-president to a jury trial for a crime of injuries related to a “rape and touching by force”. In addition, she requests that he compensate her for the damages with an undetermined amount.

Overcame two ‘impeachments’

The ex-president emerged unscathed from two ‘impeachments’, the disapproval processes that are held in Congress. In one of them, the Senate acquitted him for the assault on the Capitol. In the first, he was tried in the Senate for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and was also acquitted.

Before him, other presidents went through an ‘impeachment’ in the Senate. Andrew Johnson was indicted for dismissing his Secretary of War in 1867 and thus violating the Office Ownership Law that prevented the president from making such a decision without having the authorization of the Senate.

Bill Clinton, embroiled in various scandals, was tried and acquitted by the Senate in the case of his ‘affair’ with Monica Lewinsky when she was a White House intern.
