Going into the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump stood accused of 91 felony counts across criminal cases in New York, Florida, Washington DC and Georgia. In May, he became the first former president ever to be convicted of a crime.
But now that he has won re-election to a second term, the president-elect is unlikely to be sent to prison or see other trials move forward. That likelihood has been slim since 1 July, when the US supreme court ruled that presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution. His sentencing in connection with his New York conviction was delayed, and the presiding judge in Florida dismissed the case alleging he illegally retained classified documents.
Special counsel Jack Smith dropped the federal election interference case on 25 November. Prosecutors also abandoned the classified documents case in an appeals court filing.
