Trump was convicted on 34 counts and faces 54 other criminal charges

The most substantial federal counts are related to obstruction, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Defendants, however, rarely receive the maximum sentences, and it is uncertain whether Trump would be incarcerated; he was found guilty in the first of his four criminal cases, and sentencing in the hush money case is scheduled for July 11.

Here is a breakdown of what Trump faces in his three other cases:

The Fulton County, Ga., district attorney charged Trump and 18 others in connection with efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss in the state. Initially Trump was indicted on 13 charges, but three of the charges — all related to pressure he and his co-defendants allegedly put on state officials to change the election result — were dismissed by the judge. The district attorney has filed an appeal.

What do the charges mean?

The most sweeping charge in this case is Trump’s alleged violation of Georgia’s powerful anti-racketeering law. This law allows prosecutors to charge a large group of people in a complex web of potential crimes. The indictment says Trump and others were part of a criminal enterprise that refused to accept his election loss and conspired to change the outcome.

The remaining counts — soliciting or impersonating a public officer, forgery, false statements and false documents — involve the plot to appoint fake electors, as well as the bevy of false voter-fraud claims Trump and others made as they allegedly tried to subvert the election.

Four charges in the federal Jan. 6 attack case

Federal prosecutors are investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

What do the charges mean?

Conspiracy is a broad legal term meaning two or more people plotted to break the law and then took steps to do so. A conspiracy does not have to be successful to amount to a crime.

In this case, Trump and a group of alleged co-conspirators — unnamed but many identifiable through prosecutors’ descriptions — are accused of scheming to reverse the election results and keep Trump in power. The three conspiracy counts relate to the myriad ways they allegedly tried to accomplish that goal. The fourth count, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, arises from Trump’s attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win. Read more about the individual charges.

40 charges in the classified documents case

Federal prosecutors charged Trump with illegally hoarding classified documents from his presidency and conspiring with aides to cover up his actions.

What do the charges mean?

Each of the first 32 counts relates to a different classified document that prosecutors say Trump illegally kept after he left the White House. Some of the documents contained military intelligence and other sensitive information that could harm national security if exposed, according to prosecutors. The other charges involve Trump’s alleged attempts to hide the documents from investigators and delete Mar-a-Lago security footage. Read more about the individual charges.
