https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/14/trump-sexual-abuse-verdict-e-jean-carroll-legal-troublesBut in the coming months its going to get a lot harder for the former, and possibly future, American president to spin his legal problems as political persecution by Democratic elitists. Investigations against him are mounting, and even more troubled legal waters lie ahead for Trump and some of his acolytes.
Indictments in conservative Georgia are coming down the line and many of the key witnesses against Trump will be his fellow Republicans, including some who helped him try to rig the 2020 election.
Similarly, investigations by a justice department special counsel into Trumps actions leading up to the 6 January 2021 storming of the Capitol, and the stashing of classified documents at his Florida mansion, are being built on the accounts of aides and political associates who are potential witnesses against him.

That's four extra legal jeopardies the rump faces.
The Washington Post reported on April 12 that in recent weeks the special counsel had subpoenaed a wide range of documents, including emails and texts, from numerous Trump associates and Republican operatives to compare what they had said privately about election fraud claims with what post-election Trump fundraising emails had said. The emails raised over $200 million in donations. Investigators were examining whether wire fraud had been committed by using false claims to swindle people out of money.[51][52]
[on May 4, NYT reported:] A subpoena had also been issued for records relating to Trump's dealings with LIV Golf, a Saudi-backed professional golf venture. The Times reported investigators were seeking to determine whether Trump paid for attorneys for witnesses based on their degree of loyalty to him.[60]

No one can compete, especially with the pillow guy. I've heard he bit Mike Tyson's ear off.

Later this month, the defendent faces a hearing with the judge in Manhattan, to discuss his behavior. We will see a stage two meltdown as a result.
