Your Shortcut to... Donald Trump's Legal Cases
Donald Trump is finally appearing in court for one of the criminal cases against him… And look, we get it - there is so much Trump news, in a way that is both a little bit tedious while also being hard to follow. In this Shortcut, we give you a map of the 4 criminal cases against Trump, as well as the civil cases worth knowing about.
Squiz recommends:
Listening: The Run-Up podcast from The New York Times, which has excellent reporting from behind the scenes of the 2024 election.
Reading: Bloomberg has a helpful visual calendar of Trump’s legal cases (and their delays).
