A guide to Donald Trump's four criminal cases - BBC News
Whatās being investigated?
The Department of Justice is looking into the removal of government documents from the White House, which were then taken to Mr Trumpās Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, after he left office. Investigators are assessing how these documents were stored and who may have had access to them.
The former presidentās sprawling beachside property was searched in August and 11,000 documents were seized, including around 100 marked as classified. Some of these were labelled top secret.
Unsurprisingly, we know very little about whatās in the documents at this stage. But classified material usually contains information that officials feel could damage national security if made public.
This is an active criminal investigation and could result in charges being filed.
Whatās being investigated?
Mr Trumpās alleged role in the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021, when a mob of his supporters stormed the building in an effort to stop the confirmation of President Joe Bidenās election victory, is under scrutiny from several federal government bodies.
The most visible has been a congressional committee that spent 18 months looking into Mr Trumpās actions. They held a series of televised hearings laying out their case that his election fraud claims led directly to the riot.
Following these hearings, the committee accused Mr Trump of inciting insurrection and other crimes.
The justice department is running a separate criminal probe into 6 January and broader efforts to overturn the election - but this has largely been shrouded in secrecy. Itās the largest police investigation in US history, but the extent to which Mr Trump is a target is unclear.
The justice departmentās criminal probe has already led to hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol being charged.
The former president has not been called for questioning in that inquiry, but it remains a possibility. He could also - in theory - be charged if investigators believe there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
Whatās being investigated?
Prosecutors spent eight months looking into alleged attempts to overturn Mr Trumpās narrow loss in the state in the 2020 presidential election.
The criminal investigation was opened after the disclosure of an hour-long phone call between the former president and the stateās top election official on 2 January 2021.
āI just want to find 11,780 votes,ā Mr Trump said during the call to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger - a reference to the number of ballots needed to give him victory in the swing state.
A grand jury investigating the case was dissolved earlier this year after filing a final report, which remains sealed.
The 26-member grand jury did not have indictment powers but may have recommended charges. Among the potential crimes it looked into were the solicitation of election fraud, making false statements to government officials, and racketeering.
It is not known whether the former president is being directly investigated, but some of his allies are known to be part of the inquiry.
