Summary

Former President Donald Trump is quickly racking up delegates on the road to the Republican presidential nomination. But the path forward on his criminal cases is a lot less certain. Trump stands accused of 91 criminal counts in four separate cases, in three states and in Washington, D.C., including two related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, one that accuses him of improperly retaining classified documents, and one connected to alleged hush-money payments to an adult film actress during the 2016 election. With appeals ongoing and a chance the Supreme Court could weigh in on some of the charges, WSJ’s Jan Wolfe explains where the cases stand and the likelihood that any of them will actually come to trial before the election.
