What’s next for Trump legally? Which case might up before Election Day?

Former President Trump has crossed one legal challenge of the list but is now awaiting scheduling and a major Supreme Court decision to determine whether he’ll have to spend any more time in a courtroom during the 2024 election cycle.

A decision from the high court could come any day. That decision will impact whether a trial will take place for the former president related to Smith's charges in that jurisdiction. 

Smith charged the former president with conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. Those charges stemmed from Smith’s investigation into whether Trump was involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and any alleged interference in the 2020 election result.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in August.

The Supreme Court's decision will determine if and when a trial could take place related to those charges. 

But that isn’t the only federal case pending.

Cannon vacated the initial May 20 trial date and reset the trial "following resolution of the matters before the Court consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice." 

Cannon scheduled hearings through late July, but did not set a new date for trial. 

It is unclear if that trial will take place before the November presidential election. 

And in Fulton County, Ga., Trump was charged by District Attorney Fani Willis with one count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act, three counts of criminal solicitation, six counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of filing false documents and two counts of making false statements.

He pleaded not guilty to all counts. 

Willis had proposed the trial begin in August, but that has been postponed, amid her own controversy surrounding the case. 

Willis has been in court defending herself after revelations that she had a romantic relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, who she brought onto her team to help bring charges against Trump.

A trial date has not yet been determined. 

Meanwhile, Trump is appealing a decision in New York Attorney General Letitia James' non-jury civil fraud case. New York Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for $454 million in damages and barred him from operating business in New York for three years after ruling he inflated his assets.

Trump had his bond slashed to $175 million, which he posted, and is appealing the decision. 

Trump and his family denied any wrongdoing, with the former president saying his assets had been undervalued. Trump's legal team insisted that his financial statements had disclaimers, and made it clear to banks that they should conduct their own assessments.
