  • This video was brought to you by Brilliant.
  • Donald Trump has had a rough couple of months and it seems like every week, he's caught some sorts of new legal issue with Tuesday seeing state prosecutors in Georgia indict him for interfering in the 2020 election.
  • Now this endless legal drama can get a little bit confusing.
  • So in this video, we thought we'd explain all of the charges currently facing Trump, his legal prospects, and what this means for the 2024 presidential election.
  • Before we get into it, just a quick note.
  • As diehard TLDR fans might know, we shut down the TLDR US channel at the beginning of this year because people just didn't seem all that interested in our US content.
  • As such, we've decided to give US content another go here on TLDR Global.
  • So if you like this video and want us to do more US content in the future, give this video a like and let us know in the comments.
  • Anyway, let's start by explaining what an indictment actually is.
  • In the American legal system, prosecutors often have to make their case to what's known as a grand jury before they actually charge someone.
  • Typically, a grand jury comprises of 23 randomly selected members of the public.
  • And if at least 12 of them are convinced by the prosecutor that probable cause exists to believe that a crime has been committed, they can cause an indictment.
  • Now this usually happens without the accused actually being present.
  • The prosecutor just makes their argument and if the indictment is issued, then the case goes to trial where the accused can then defend themselves.
  • Ultimately, this is just a first step in the process designed to protect against excessive or unfounded prosecution.
  • So far though, Trump has been indicted four times, twice by state prosecutors and twice by federal prosecutors.
  • But none of these cases have made it to trial just yet.
  • Trump's first indictment came on March 30th when a grand jury in New York charged him with the state level crime of falsifying business records.
  • These charges pertain to the hush money payments made by Trump's fixer, Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels in the early 2000s.
  • Typically, falsification of business records would simply be a misdemeanor in New York state.
  • However, if the crime is conducted in the course of another crime, the falsification could be charged as a felony.
  • Now Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hasn't yet stated which separate crime these falsifications were done in connection with.
  • However, the context of the case provides us with some insight.
  • Prosecutors will likely justify these felony charges by asserting that Trump's hush money payments were intended to help Trump's campaign for president and thus were unreported federal campaign expenditures.
  • Now, since Trump has not been prosecuted for any campaign finance violations and the FEC has declined to review the Stormy Daniels payment, this case might actually be the least concerning for Trump.
  • Trump's second indictment though came on June 8th when federal prosecutors charged him with three separate federal crimes relating to last year's FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
  • The most serious of these charges is his 32 separate alleged violations of the Espionage Act via his willful retention of national defense documents post-presidency.
  • Exactly what was in these classified files is unknown, but current reporting suggests that attack plans for an American strike on Iran were among the documents.
  • Trump was even captured on a recording supposedly referring to those attack plan documents by showing them to other people and saying, see, as president, I could have declassified it.
  • Now I can't.
  • Isn't that interesting?
  • It's so cool.
  • Beyond just retaining the documents, Trump is also being charged with six counts of obstruction and two counts of making false statements.
  • Given that just his 32 counts of willful retention could net him 320 years in prison at maximum and the evidence seems to be pretty overwhelming, this case is especially serious and damaging for Trump.
  • Trump's third indictment came on August 1st when federal prosecutors issued four charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, culminating in the January 6th insurrection.
  • Trump is being charged with two counts of obstructing an official proceeding, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, and one count of conspiracy against rights.
  • Now these charges connected to January 6th have little to do with the riots themselves and are more about the concerted pressure campaign waged against Vice President Pence to get him to decertify electoral votes from states that Trump lost.
  • It's alleged that Trump tried to get Pence to overturn the election using knowingly false claims and that such claims were repeated by Trump supporters in order to direct them to the Capitol building for the purpose of obstructing Congress.
  • It's further alleged that Trump then used the chaos of that day to try and pressure lawmakers and others into accepting his election fraud claims so that he could stay in office.
  • Interestingly, Trump's conspiracy against rights act comes from violations of the 1870 Enforcement Act, an act passed as part of the so-called Klan Acts aimed at stopping the Ku Klux Klan from infringing on the rights of black voters.
  • It's alleged that Trump tried to influence state legislators and election officials to attempt to circumvent the lawful votes of the population in seven states, thus depriving those voters of their right to vote.
  • Trump's last indictment came on Tuesday when a grand jury in Georgia charged Trump and 18 co-defendants with a variety of crimes regarding the Trump campaign's attempts to change votes in the state of Georgia.
  • While the eight total charges, totaling 13 counts, are too numerous to go through one by one, the highlights include solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to impersonate a public officer,
  • Conspiracy to commit fraud in the first degree, and racketeering.
  • While the case is by far the most legally complex of the bunch, it's also in some ways the most straightforward.
  • Georgia state prosecutors are alleging that Trump and his co-conspirators entered into league together as a criminal organization in order to try and overturn Georgia's election votes.
  • Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence here is a recorded phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where Trump indicated that he wanted to, quote, find 11,780 votes in the state.
  • All in all, Trump's legal prospects don't look great here, but a lot of this depends on when these cases actually go to trial.
  • If none of them go to trial before the election, which is at least a possibility, then Trump might end up being able to wiggle his way out by winning the 2024 presidential election and then pardoning himself,
  • Although the validity of a presidential self-pardon is unsettled.
  • However, if Trump goes to trial before the 2024 election, it will probably be the deciding event of the election.
  • If he's found innocent, then he'll be able to spin it as yet another effort of the deep state to try and get rid of him.
  • But if he's found guilty, it's hard to see the Republicans winning, even if Trump doesn't end up being their candidate.
