[BBC News] How big are Donald Trump’s legal problems?

Donald Trump is under investigation for everything from his handling of top secret documents to alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

And the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024 has suffered a series of recent legal setbacks.

He became the first former president to face criminal charges – over an alleged hush money scheme – and was separately ordered to pay millions of dollars to a writer after being found liable for sexual abuse.

Here are the cases ahead that pose the most serious legal risks.

    If you want to disrespect, insult and fight with your own people over trivial things you come here on DNO. It’s sickening and discouraging. No wonder our country ain’t moving forward.

    Mr. Telemaque, you are just like ABC. CBS.CNN. NBC etc. Any thing bad about the Democrats especially Biden.Is suppressed or even lie to cover their wrongs.Here is a prime example.Tara made it abundantly clear.
    She was sexually harassed by Biden in his .
    …senate office…while working. But you are lying to us by saying. She said, it happened.
    In the hall of Congress.

    It appears that we have fowl memories.But I will remind you.A few years ago I offered us$2500 to anyone who can name ,,,One Thing,,,Obama and Biden did for blacks in 8 yrs? Only one person who attempted said.
    ,”He gave us health insurance”
    And I said, no,I am black,and I had health insurance before Obama Care,and because of O. C. my insurance went up. I paid about $100 more. It was called Spousal Surcharge. Anyway this is history.
    Let me remind you my fellow blacks.
    I will be asking you the same question after Biden term is over.
    I know he is more interested in bringing in millions of Hispanics in the U.S.to take the little jobs and give it to them.And blacks from bad to worse.

    Let us not forget,the case brought against Trump, was not, Defamation and sexual abuse.The lady accused him of “Raping her” (period) 20 years ago in a public place ( A store)
    Imagine,a woman goes in a Sears Store to buy a dress,she goes in a female fitting room and tried it. Here comes Trump,entering the same room,maybe with other ladies in the next room.At times you have other ladies waiting at the front door to enter, plus bright light all over.You are telling us Trump raped you in the room.?
    You never reported it to the police.?
    A big democratic donor gave her the cash to after Trump, believing they can destroy him.
    Anyone who could accused Trump of any thing,was allowed, by the judge to testified against him.
    A professor said
    “First-time in the U.S.history,no one was allowed to see the jury. Not even those present in the court”.
    Such persecutions are drawing more support.

    Do you know that Joe Biden was also accused by Tara Read, of sexual harassment? Fondly her without her consent.? She was working in his office,while he was a senator.She also had witnesses to collaborate her accusation.They said ” When it happened,Tara told us.”
    But Biden is a Democrat.The media like CNN and others attacks her instead.The only elected Democrat who puplicly believed Tara Read, was Kamala Harris in a debate. Biden has a history of fondling women. Again those in the media will say.
    “This is just old Joe”

      Whenever you listen to Western media, do so with a very very OPEN mind. Always question what you see or hear! They bombard you with their own narrative and many times they totally ignore the truth!!
      Be careful…!!

      Charles, Tara made the claim that Biden harassed her sexual in the Halls of Congress.

      Watch this: the U.S. Capitol Building is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world and the center of American democracy. The world-famous domed building is home to the United States House of Representatives and Senate; where Americas congressmen and congresswomen conduct business, debate laws and pass bills.

      So, I would expect 24/7 that place would be buzzing with more than a thousand people at any one time.

      In that case someone one would have seen or heard something while Biden was in the act of sexually harassing this woman in the house of congress.

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

      Just think about the place of this alleged sexual harassment, and determine if a jury could ever find Biden or any other person guilty of such a crime taking place in the Hall of Congress: Common this lady said she was sexually harassed in the Hall of Congress?

      That’s ludicrous!

      But why don’t you mind your damn business; I told scum of the earth people like you before kissing up to Donald Trump is not going to benefit scum like you and Dominica anything!
      Remember he called black nations including Haiti by name “shithole” country’s that is his precises word verbatim! Can you prove any allegations made against the Bidens?
      Trump is now liable to pay five million dollars to a woman who took him to court for [allegedly] raping her, he was found liable for sexual abuse, and defamation in the case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll.
      ” A Manhattan federal jury found Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in the spring of 1996. In spite of that that bit of scum Domald was in a town Hall meeting lying for seventy minuets, in the process ridiculing and has defamed her again by so doing he has subjected himself to another lawsuit by her.

        Shut up, the Bidens should sue you for deformation. Your fictitious name can lead to your E-mail address, which can lead to your real name and to the hole in which you are hiding!

        The reason people like you hide behind fictitious names is because you are a nobody!
        Any black person or poor person who supports Donald Trump must be mentally ill, or simply stupid, and there are plenty of you Dominicans, Trump does not even know the geographic location of Dominica and be informed we saw him on Television when he was given a picture of his very own wife, he is so damn dumb he could not identify his own wife!

        Are you stupid or something!

      You are truly a Damaged brain…how could you even compare Orange head to president Biden. Stop reading crap. No does money laundering as much as Trump. He was first in love with China. He turned his back on Ukraine because they refuse to help him do a witch hunt on Biden. There is no dirt on Biden. That’s a respectable man. He may be older but had lots of wisdom. Go do your research before you talk crap

      This will take time, but the Bidens are worse than Donald Trump!!
      Biden at his age, was even involved in one of the worlds biggest terrorist act, the blowing up of Nord Stream Pipeline. I would jail his butt! Western media is mouth shut on that!!
      I would vote Trump TEN BILLION times more than this man Biden!

    America is messed up. Here we have a ……. sexual molester running to become president of the country. Imagine that!

    Twenty (20) women have accused this miscreant of rape and sexual molestation, and he still commands a sizable share of the electorate to become the ruler of the world’s most powerful country. Unbelievable!

    Those who still throw their support and admiration behind this disgusting menace to all of society, are morally depraved and demonically debase. Donald John Trump deserves our collective scorn.

    Nice to see former Government leaders pay for their criminal activities. Some think they are the law, others think they are above. The nastiest humans are those who use the power of the people and turn it against them with and think they can break the laws as they please. These men are the demons that live among us.

      “E Jean Carroll may again sue Trump for defamation
      Former President Donald Trump mocked author E. Jean Carroll on live television a day after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.”(AOL News).

      The opinion of Dominican idiots don’t count. It does not matter who is president in America, the country looses nothing! The worker who nets more than a thousand dollars per week will still take home that amount, and if they loose a job, they simply go out and find another.

      Think in terms of Roosevelt Skerrit drinking the blood of scum of the earth people like you, as you sit and take his crap. Trump is defeated; we prove that in the last mid term elections, every candidate he put up including Hershel Walker lost.
      So, your big mouth does not ring a bell in American politics!
