Vad menar du kvalifiserar för rättegång mot Trump? och vad menar du att domstolarna eventuellt ska kunna ta Trump för?
Här är några rättsfall Trump kan bli tvungen att ta itu med om/när han avgår – inte svårt att förstå att han gärna sitter kvar...:
1) Manhattan district attorney's office looking into financial inner workings of the Trump Organization.
"Prosecutors have suggested in court filings that the investigation could examine whether the President and his company engaged in
bank fraud, insurance fraud, criminal tax fraud and falsification of business records."
Trump has repeatedly sought to block the DA's subpoena of eight years of his tax returns and financial records as part of the investigation.
2) New York state attorney general examining how Trump valued his assets.
In the wake of Cohen's testimony alleging that Trump, along with his family members, had repeatedly "inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes," New York AG Letitia James announced that she would
investigate the claims to see if they elevate to the level of fraud.
3) Attorneys general of Maryland and Washington, DC, suing over the emoluments clause.
This suit was originally brought way back in 2017, alleging that Trump was
violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution by profiting from foreign governments' spending in his Trump hotel in downtown Washington.
4) E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit.
Days before the 2020 election, a federal judge rejected an attempt by Trump, represented by Department of Justice lawyers, to effectively dismiss a case brought by Carroll
alleging that Trump had raped her in the 1990s. He denied her allegation, saying, "She's not my type." The case is now proceeding through the federal court system.
5) Summer Zervos' defamation lawsuit.
Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," sued Trump back in 2017, arguing that in his denial of her allegation that he had
sexually assaulted her in 2007, he had defamed her and subjected her to harassment. Trump lost a bid to dismiss the case in late 2019, but the proceedings -- including a possible subpoena for Trump to provide a deposition -- have been put on hold until he leaves office.
6) Mary Trump's lawsuit.
The niece of the President -- and the author of the scathing bestseller "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" -- sued Trump in September, alleging that he, his sister and his late brother had committed
fraud to keep her from getting her fair share of the estate of Trump's father, Fred Sr.
