Trump's Possible Charges

As of March 23, 2023, former President Donald Trump has not been charged with any crimes related to his tenure in office. However, there are ongoing investigations by the Manhattan district attorney's office into hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016, as well as allegations of obstruction of Congress related to the January 6th Capitol attack [1]. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in these matters [2], but reports suggest that charges related to the hush money payments may be imminent, with some sources suggesting they could come as soon as this week [3]. The Manhattan district attorney's investigation has been ongoing for several years and appears to be nearing a decision regarding whether to charge Trump with a crime related to the $130,000 hush money payment made just before the 2016 election [4]. In response to these reports, workers have erected barricades around a Manhattan courthouse, and New York City is bracing for potential protests and unrest [7]. It should be noted that Trump has escaped law enforcement inquiries in the past, and it remains to be seen whether he will face charges related to these investigations [10].
