The four criminal investigations into the former president, explained
Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: goo.gl/0bsAjO
Donald Trump is now the first former US President to face criminal charges. He pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
This case involves hush money that Trump’s lawyer paid to an alleged former sexual partner. But it’s actually just one of four criminal investigations into the former president. The other three investigations focus on his behavior after the 2020 presidential election.
A Georgia team is examining Trump’s efforts to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” more Trump votes after the votes had been counted and Raffensperger had declared Joe Biden the winner.
Federal special prosecutor Jack Smith is heading up the other two investigations. One group is looking at the Trump team’s attempts to persuade officials in a handful of states where Biden won not to certify his victory, and instead to claim Trump won the state despite the vote counts.
The other federal investigation is focused on classified documents that Trump brought with him from the White House to his Florida estate after losing the 2020 election. According to reports from the Washington Post and the New York Times, when the FBI searched his estate in August 2022, they found documents related to nuclear weapons, as well as files containing information that could put US informants in the field in danger.
As president, Trump didn’t just say outrageous things, he acted in unprecedented ways. Now that he’s out of office, investigators in a variety of jurisdictions are trying to figure out if he broke the law, too.

In addition to the four ongoing criminal investigations, there’s also a federal civil case against Trump working its way through the courts. The writer E. Jean Carroll is suing Trump for defamation and battery after she claims he raped her in the mid-1990s and then publicly said she was making the whole thing up. You can read more about that case here: bit.ly/3meJGzJ

It was a shrewd move on the part of Ford, even if it cost the Republicans the next presidency. It's debatable whether Nixon would have done jail time. A trial would probably have torn the country apart (at that time). Not convinced Trump is popular enough for anyone but MAGAs to care.

@CoxTH Год назад

Regarding the classified documents case, it is important to say that within the White House, there is such a ridiculous amount of classified documents that it's practically impossible to keep track of them. That's why these kinds of documents kind of show up with almost all former presidents. What is unprecedented is Trump's refusal to give those documents back after they have been found.

True. Trump was on air with Hannity who tried to softball him out of this. Trump arrogantly insisted he had the right to those documents because ... Nixon.

34 counts, not 34 crimes. The way the law works you can get multiple counts for the same crime. He falsified records (the crime) and the way he did it involved breaking up the payment into multiple parts. Every time he made one of those payments “counts”. Every time one of those payments was recorded for tax purposes is another count (that’s now at least 2 counts for every 1 payment, with multiple payments involved in the 1 crime of falsifying records).

@RyanMcIntyre Год назад

You’re conflating terms. Each count is its own charge of a law broken in the commission of a crime. On their own, each count could stand as their own crime. But trump’s crime just so happens to have 34 laws the prosecutor will be trying. 34 crimes for this one crime 😂 Think of it like driving to work and getting stopped for speeding and no seatbelt.

@bigash3003 Год назад

I have a genuine question: these matters usually take years of back and forth wranglings, during which Trump could continue running for President (under the presumption of innocence) and if he wins, he can then take advantage of immunity to escape any prosecution... is that a possibility?

Another thing that should be noted is that during grand jury proceedings the general rules of evidence are not applicable. That means a lot of the stuff you can present to a grand jury would be excluded from trial. Also the defendant does not get to make their case to a grand jury, they only hear one side of the argument, the prosecutors.

Thank you for this. So much of our media has been focusing on and playing up the charges involving Stormy Daniels because of the salaciousness of involving an adult film performer, and then performatively being let down or questioning the worth of the entire process when nothing spectacular happened. While those charges are important and should definitely be pursued, Trump's other crimes are of much greater national interest, and I appreciate you drawing that distinction.

@mbstrongs Год назад

Completely agree! The guy summed it up perfectly where he basically said it is a violation, but making this charge the first presidential indictment is ridiculous. There is almost no objectivity when it comes to Trump, so I was very happy to watch a video that seemed pretty objective (even from a source like Vox that I would have thought would never be able to be objective about Trump)

@dahawk8574 5 месяцев назад

Au contraire. There is excellent reason for Stormy Daniels to be first. Her story is that her life was threatened to keep her silenced. She wanted to go public with her story. And what happened is that American Voters got robbed of vital info to make their choice. It is this crime that led to Trump being declared winner of the 2016 Election. This is the crime that set up all subsequent crimes he committed while in power.

What’s a ‘district attorney’ I hear that from American media a lot and it confuses me, does an entire district with thousands of people only have one attorney? Do they handle everyone’s case? Are they voted in?

@jeffbenton6183 Год назад

The district attorneys are essentially the chief prosecutors of their respective districts. They administer the local government organization containing all the prosecutors and are themselves the prosecutors responsible for dealing with specific, important cases. (I think in some districts, the DA personally handles all murder cases). Crucially, they are also directly elected instead of being appointed. That said, it's important to remember that the US is a federation, and even within states there's a fair amount of decentralization. This means that exactly what a district attorney varies from district to district, but the fact that the district attorney is the chief prosecutor and is directly elected is pretty much the same everywhere.
