2020 election and January 6: House select committee
The House select committee investigating the US Capitol attack has uncovered dramatic evidence of Trump's actions before and on January 6, especially efforts to use the levers of government to overturn the election.
The committee is expected to issue a report and to vote on whether to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department later this month, marking the end of its investigation.
During the panel's hearings this summer, fingers were pointed at GOP lawmakers and Trump allies who tried to help overturn the election and Trump White House officials who failed to stop the former president's actions.
The House panel and Trump are also enmeshed in a legal fight over whether the former president must comply with a subpoena for documents and his testimony.
2020 election and January 6: US Justice Department
The Justice Department has an investigation of its own into the post-2020 election period.
While DOJ has not acted publicly during the so-called quiet period leading up to the midterms, a grand jury in Washington has been hearing from witnesses.
Recently, DOJ moved to compel additional testimony from former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and deputy White House counsel Patrick Philbin.
Trump has been fighting to keep former advisers from testifying about certain conversations, citing executive and attorney-client privileges to keep information confidential or slow down criminal investigators.
2020 Election: Efforts to overturn Georgia results
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is overseeing a special grand jury investigating what Trump or his allies may have done in their efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's victory in Georgia.
The probe was launched last year following Trump's call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which he pushed the Republican to "find" votes to overturn the election results.
Willis, a Democrat, has also informed all 16 of the individuals who signed an "unofficial electoral certificate," which was ultimately sent to the National Archives in late 2020, that they may be indicted in the probe.

The investigation may be drawing closer to Trump as well. Former New York City Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has appeared before the grand jury, as has Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham lost a court bid to avoid testifying.
Willis had pledged to wait until after the midterms to make announcements about possible charges.
2020 Election: Fake GOP electors
The Justice Department, meanwhile, is looking at an aspect of a plot to put forward fake GOP electors from seven states.
Fake certificates were created by Trump allies in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico, who sought to replace valid presidential electors from their states with a pro-Trump slate.
Trump Organization convicted of criminal tax fraud
Trump's namesake business, the Trump Organization, was convicted this week by a New York jury of tax fraud, grand larceny and falsifying business records in what prosecutors allege was a 15-year scheme to defraud tax authorities by failing to report and pay taxes on compensation provided to employees.

Trump Organization found guilty on all counts of criminal tax fraud
Manhattan prosecutors told a jury the case is about "greed and cheating," laying out an alleged 15-year scheme within the Trump Organization to pay high-level executives in perks like luxury cars and apartments without paying taxes on them.
Former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to his role in the tax scheme this summer. He testified in the trial but did not cooperate with prosecutors.
Trump Organization: NY attorney general investigation
New York Attorney General Letitia James, after a lengthy investigation, sued Trump, three of his adult children and the Trump Organization in September, alleging they were involved in an expansive fraud lasting over a decade that the former president used to enrich himself.
James alleged the fraud touched all aspects of the Trump business, including its properties and golf courses. According to the lawsuit, the Trump Organization deceived lenders, insurers and tax authorities by inflating the value of his properties using misleading appraisals.
James is seeking $250 million in allegedly ill-gotten funds.
Retired Judge Barbara Jones has been named to serve as a monitor over the company. James said one is needed to prevent the real estate company from continuing what the state has alleged is a decade-long fraud.
Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has called the investigation politically motivated based on James' electoral ambitions.
A trial is set for October 2023.
Trump Organization: NY DA criminal investigation
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg inherited that office's probe into Trump's businesses, but it has slowed significantly.
Prosecutors were focusing on the accuracy of the Trump Organization's financial statements when seeking financing, people familiar with the matter have told CNN.
Earlier this year, Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz, two senior prosecutors on the team, resigned after Bragg informed them that he wasn't prepared to move forward with criminal charges, CNN's Kara Scannell has reported.
A special grand jury hearing evidence in the case expired in April, but a new one could be seated in the future.
Bragg has maintained the investigation is ongoing and prosecutors are reviewing new evidence. He said he will issue a public statement or an indictment when it's completed.
January 6: Lawsuits by police officers
Several members of the US Capitol Police and Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police are suing Trump, saying his words and actions incited the riot.
The various cases accuse Trump of directing assault and battery; aiding and abetting assault and battery; and violating local Washington, DC, laws that prohibit incitement of riots and disorderly conduct.
A federal judge in February said Trump's statements to his supporters before the riot are "the essence of civil conspiracy," and lawsuits by the police officers have been allowed to proceed.

Trump and his top advisers have not been charged with any crimes. Trump and others who are sued have argued they are not responsible for the actions of the people who stormed the Capitol.
A federal appeals court this week heard Trump's attempt to throw out the cases.
E. Jean Carroll: Defamation suit over Trump's denial of rape claims
Magazine writer E. Jean Carroll alleged Trump raped her in a New York department store dressing room in the mid 1990s and defamed her when he denied the rape, said she was not his "type" and alleged she made the claim to boost sales of her book.
Trump and the Justice Department said Trump was a federal employee and his statements denying Carroll's allegations were made in response to reporters' questions while he was at the White House. They argue the Justice Department should be substituted as the defendant, which, because the government cannot be sued for defamation, would end the lawsuit.

In September, a federal appeals court in New York ruled that Trump was a federal employee when he denied Carroll's claim of rape and sexual assault.
Early next year, the Washington, DC, appeals court will determine if Trump was acting within the scope of his employment when he made the allegedly defamatory statements. Meanwhile, the judge overseeing the lawsuit has set a trial for early February.
Carroll has also sued Trump for battery and defamation.
Michael Cohen: Claims of retaliation against Trump and Barr -- Trump victory
Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, sued Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and others, alleging they put him back in jail to prevent him from promoting his upcoming book while under home confinement.
Cohen was serving the remainder of his sentence for lying to Congress and campaign violations at home, due to Covid-19 concerns, when he started an anti-Trump social media campaign in summer 2020. In retaliation, Cohen said he was sent back to prison and spent 16 days in solitary.
A federal judge on November 14 threw out the lawsuit. District Judge Lewis Liman said he was empathetic to Cohen's position but said Supreme Court precedent bars him from allowing the case to move forward.
Mary Trump: Accusations of deception regarding inheritance -- Trump victory
In 2020, Mary Trump sued her uncle Donald Trump, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, a retired judge, and the executor of her late uncle Robert Trump's estate, alleging "they designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had inherited."
On November 14, a New York state judge threw out the lawsuit, saying that Mary Trump's claims are barred by an earlier settlement she reached over 20 years ago.
Mary Trump has appealed the ruling.
Personal retaliation: Peter Strzok lawsuit
Former top FBI counter-intelligence official Peter Strzok, who was terminated by the FBI in 2018 after the revelation of anti-Trump texts Strzok exchanged with a top lawyer at the bureau, Lisa Page, has sued DOJ alleging he was improperly terminated. Strzok is now seeking to depose Trump for the case, though the judge has not said yet how she'll rule on a DOJ request to block the deposition.
Strzok and Page were constant targets of verbal attacks by Trump and his allies as part of the larger ire Trump expressed toward the FBI during the Trump-Russia investigation. Trump repeatedly and publicly called for Strzok's ouster until Strzok was fired in August 2018.

If the 5th amendment does apply, it can be used. A prosecutor can also grant immunity to the particular person, which would force them to testify/
