Donald Trump guilty on all counts in historic criminal trial

The New York trial was one of four criminal cases the ex-president is facing:

  • Federal prosecutors in Washington DC accuse Trump of conspiring to overturn his election loss in 2020, including by stoking the Capitol rioters on 6 January 2021. The trial is indefinitely postponed due to an appeal from Trump who says presidents cannot be prosecuted like other citizens
  • In Georgia, Trump is charged with 18 other defendants with criminally conspiring to overturn his narrow defeat in the state in 2020. The trial's been delayed after Trump launched an effort to disqualify the lead prosecutor
  • Trump is also accused of mishandling classified documents and bringing them home after he left the White House in a federal case in Florida. Again, the trial has been delayed as the judge considers motions from Trump's legal team
