Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

I dont understand how sedition is so hard to place on this man.

God damn it Jack, you had months to be ready for this, what a time to get Garland's disease!

Honestly, at this point I want them delayed till after the election. Putting him in court right before the election is just gunna rally his base to vote which could be the difference in the swing states
