Donald Trump is the first former president in US history to stand trial for multiple alleged crimes. He is accused of orchestrating a conspiracy against the US to disenfranchise voters and obstruct an official trial. Some face up to 20 years in prison.
The storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 could ultimately prove fatal to Trump

At the center of the new and most serious lawsuit is his attempts to subsequently reverse his own defeat in the 2020 presidential election by Joe Biden. Trump’s campaign against the election results culminated on January 6, 2021 in an unprecedented attack by his supporters on the US Capitol. Several people were killed in the riots.
