As Trump awaits sentencing in his hush money trial, more cases loom

Donald Trump is awaiting sentencing on 34 felony counts in New York on July 11, but he has other potentially more perilous legal problems ahead, including up to three other criminal trials where he faces more serious charges.

In addition to the New York trial, Trump also faces criminal charges in Georgia, Florida and Washington, D.C. Whether any of the remaining criminal cases will go to trial before Election Day is an open question, but it appears unlikely at this point.

The former president also has a number of consequential appeals outstanding, including two that could cost him over half a billion dollars if he loses and another case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court that could potentially hobble at least one of the criminal cases against him if he wins.

Here’s a look at some of Trump’s remaining court cases, and their status.

Classified documents case

While the maximum penalty Trump could face in the New York case is four years per count — a sentence he’s unlikely to receive — some of the charges in the federal classified documents case in Florida carry a maximum term of 20 years in prison.

He was hit with a 37-count federal indictment last year alleging he illegally held on to and mishandled piles of highly sensitive national security information at his Florida social club, and was subsequently slapped with additional charges alleging he’d tried to cover up his wrongdoing. Trump maintains he didn’t do anything improper and has pleaded not guilty.

The case at one point was scheduled to go to trial on May 20, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, postponed the trial date indefinitely earlier this month, citing “myriad” legal issues she still has to sort through.
