Former President Donald Trump is facing an array of legal challenges that span criminal and civil cases across multiple jurisdictions. Legal experts have compiled a detailed analysis of the 91 criminal counts he faces, along with lawsuits alleging fraud, defamation, s*xual abuse, and violation of civil rights, as well as various appeals he has made in these cases.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann highlighted the range of criminal charges against Trump, which include allegations from before, during, and after his presidency.
Weissmann noted Trump’s recent motion in a Florida case claiming immunity, even though the alleged actions occurred after he left office.

Weissmann criticized Trump’s legal arguments, such as claiming immunity for actions like killing people or mishandling classified documents, calling them frivolous but effective in buying time.
He expressed concern over Trump’s defenses, saying they reveal Trump’s character and values as someone seeking to return to office.
Despite doubts about Trump standing trial before the Florida election, Weissmann expects trials in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., next month.
He emphasized the importance of these trials in revealing factual evidence to the public, which may contradict Trump’s public statements and spin.
The legal challenges facing Trump are extensive and cover a wide range of alleged misconduct. The upcoming trials are expected to provide further insight into Trump’s actions and may impact his political future.
