Donald Trump is now the first former US President to face criminal charges. He pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
This case involves hush money that Trump’s lawyer paid to an alleged former sexual partner. But it’s actually just one of four criminal investigations into the former president. The other three investigations focus on his behavior after the 2020 presidential election.
A Georgia team is examining Trump’s efforts to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” more Trump votes after the votes had been counted and Raffensperger had declared Joe Biden the winner.
Federal special prosecutor Jack Smith is heading up the other two investigations. One group is looking at the Trump team’s attempts to persuade officials in a handful of states where Biden won not to certify his victory, and instead to claim Trump won the state despite the vote counts.
The other federal investigation is focused on classified documents that Trump brought with him from the White House to his Florida estate after losing the 2020 election. According to reports from the Washington Post and the New York Times, when the FBI searched his estate in August 2022, they found documents related to nuclear weapons, as well as files containing information that could put US informants in the field in danger.
As president, Trump didn’t just say outrageous things, he acted in unprecedented ways. Now that he’s out of office, investigators in a variety of jurisdictions are trying to figure out if he broke the law, too.

In addition to the four ongoing criminal investigations, there’s also a federal civil case against Trump working its way through the courts. The writer E. Jean Carroll is suing Trump for defamation and battery after she claims he raped her in the mid-1990s and then publicly said she was making the whole thing up.

All thanks to Gerald Ford for pardoning Nixon, the idea of jailing presidents remain "unprecedented".
Regarding the classified documents case, it is important to say that within the White House, there is such a ridiculous amount of classified documents that it's practically impossible to keep track of them. That's why these kinds of documents kind of show up with almost all former presidents. What is unprecedented is Trump's refusal to give those documents back after they have been found.
True. Trump was on air with Hannity who tried to softball him out of this. Trump arrogantly insisted he had the right to those documents because ... Nixon. He then explained how those documents are worth millions and he was entitled to that money.

@@thugginndshit nope they shouldn’t. Difference is they cooperated when documents were found and they were not found by Biden himself or pence. Trump seems to have known and lied. That’s the crime
That Trump phone call to the Georgia AG should have lit every American's hair on fire. But now we have an entire media apparatus that exists to shield Republicans from accountability.
I'm basically binging the same lawsuits from different political channels. The socialists don't seem to care, the Republicans are calling it political motivated, while the Democrates or more left leaning are going with it's partially right.

The classified document case is the most clear cut: we know he had them because not only has he admitted it, he's even tried to justify it. I don't get why it should be taking this long.
IMO that one is the least likely to be prosecuted because DOJ doesn’t want to prosecute a former president. It’s been almost two years now. It’s a dragging tactic.
Because by that same logic Biden is also guilty of possession of highly classified documents since Obama era, which he returned recently.

South Park creators did have a hard time mocking Trump during his presidency that no matter how farfetched their jokes were, Trump would just one up it, then they just gave up
Not really no, enough other stuff happened around the world which was worth making fun of.
The closing statement is what’s wrong with this whole system. “NOW that he’s out of office [power], let’s see if he did anything illegal.”
They've been trying to come up with things since he became president. Truth wins.
Who has the power to prosecute a sitting president? NO ONE! So that is why they have to wait til he is out of the office to start the investigation. Just ask the former FBI director James Comey on what happen if you dare to investigate a sitting president. XD

Exactly...that is why what Trump is doing, destroying the whole system, should be reconsidered and maybe supported. The whole corrupt laden system needs to be destroyed from the inside out top to bottom. Characters are not being removed in this game. It is hard to tell who is on your team when actors are playing more and more characters everyday. Very difficult to keep score and have your favorite character prevail. Get behind the cause or team not a character and realize that destroying the system is the goal to winning the game not if your favorite character wins or not.

Trumps the tip of a very large iceberg that’s has no plan of melting anytime soon
@@GTAxpertPlay Sorry to say. You might be right. May they remain a minority.
34 counts, not 34 crimes. The way the law works you can get multiple counts for the same crime. He falsified records (the crime) and the way he did it involved breaking up the payment into multiple parts. Every time he made one of those payments “counts”. Every time one of those payments was recorded for tax purposes is another count (that’s now at least 2 counts for every 1 payment, with multiple payments involved in the 1 crime of falsifying records).
You’re conflating terms. Each count is its own charge of a law broken in the commission of a crime. On their own, each count could stand as their own crime. But trump’s crime just so happens to have 34 laws the prosecutor will be trying. 34 crimes for this one crime 😂
Think of it like driving to work and getting stopped for speeding and no seatbelt. The drive is the event you’ll go to court, speeding is one charge based on a civil disobedience you committed, seatbelt the other.
Charges are per crime
@@RyanMcIntyre no. It’s 34 counts of falsifying business records. If i stabbed 2 people, I would get charged with 2 counts of homocide.
Yes you can, should and usually do get a separate indictment for each separate crime, even though they are similar. Also a separate/additional/concurrent punishment if you are found guilty.
The way I understood it was that he falsified the records 34 times or something. The payments were made in smaller pieces, not all at once
This should be done on every election not just Trump. This just reminds us that we are missing a lot of information.
These are sham prosecutions/cases. I’m a senior attorney at the law firm that selects which democratic candidate will be chosen “elected” when and where.
This is something we disagree with.
Any politician from any party who violates the law should be charged, yes. It's not a zero sum game. We can go after members of both parties. :D
Thank you for this. So much of our media has been focusing on and playing up the charges involving Stormy Daniels because of the salaciousness of involving an adult film performer, and then performatively being let down or questioning the worth of the entire process when nothing spectacular happened. While those charges are important and should definitely be pursued, Trump's other crimes are of much greater national interest, and I appreciate you drawing that distinction.
Completely agree! The guy summed it up perfectly where he basically said it is a violation, but making this charge the first presidential indictment is ridiculous. There is almost no objectivity when it comes to Trump, so I was very happy to watch a video that seemed pretty objective (even from a source like Vox that I would have thought would never be able to be objective about Trump)
Au contraire.
There is excellent reason for Stormy Daniels to be first. Her story is that her life was threatened to keep her silenced. She wanted to go public with her story. And what happened is that American Voters got robbed of vital info to make their choice.
It is this crime that led to Trump being declared winner of the 2016 Election. This is the crime that set up all subsequent crimes he committed while in power.
A narassist never acknowledges his crimes. .
And a TDS sufferer never realizes he has TDS
I would like to know those crimes... I havent heard of one yet that compares to other committed by past politicians. With the way information is controlled I dont know that there is or isn't more serious crimes committed by him. I do know that there has been quite a grand effort from the media my whole life to make Trump unlikable. I say show me serious evidence of crimes against humanity that he has committed, then I can always change my mind about the whole thing.
Hearing him on that call....he really doesn't listen to others at all.
"People of GA are angry" ...that Tromp is being held accountable? Idiocracy is a documentary for the cultists there, not everyone though.
Hey, how's the bankruptcy feeling?
You should make an updated video.
They didn't mention any charge relating to January 6th. I was expecting that more than anything.
Why would he get a charge for speaking at a protest?
Everyone mentions January 6th but you forgot how Trump, in 2020, ordered police departments across America to suppress peaceful protest against police brutality. Trump even ordered to use gas on them!
Because he very much instigated it
I believe that falls under the 'He acted in ways no other president has before' category. And that was mentioned before the end of the video
@@henry_1997 If you're arguing in good faith, I think you would benefit from reading about the Jan 6 investigation. You might frame your questioning differently after considering both sides.
Would he have the Secret service while in prison?
Their simplified walk through of the legal process didn't mention that the vast majority of all criminal cases get settled before trial. Yes, settlement can include a prison sentence, but there are no violent crimes here. There is no version of this story that ends with a prison sentence.

I have a genuine question: these matters usually take years of back and forth wranglings, during which Trump could continue running for President (under the presumption of innocence) and if he wins, he can then take advantage of immunity to escape any prosecution... is that a possibility?
Weirder things have happened in the last five years.
That’s very much a possibility, and many think that he wouldn’t be attempting to run again at all were it not for that potential chance at stalling legal action.

Our election and electoral system seems dangerously vulnerable, even jeapardizing the stability of our nation. What a mess.
It seemed to work till Trump tried to overturn it. Since then his actions have created mistrust . I think that is one of the worst effects of this whole sorry saga .
"now that hes out of office its time to look into it" the whole premise for our judicial system is that noone is above it, but obviously thats not true if theres conditions before you can even start looking into it
just ask former FBI director James Comey on what happens if you dare to investigate a sitting president.
2:44 "But I think that these particular allegations against Trump are pretty far afield of the really serious allegations that justify going after a former president."
I am not a legal scholar, so can someone explain to me what sorts of crimes a former president should be allowed to commit with impunity?
Nobody is above the law, but some are more above the law than others.
"everyone is equal, but some are mor equal then others"?
We can’t have him go to jail how will he play with joe and obama in minecraft????
The thing that bothers me most is the “respect” given to a former president. If anything, someone in the most powerful jobs in the world should be more liable to criminal investigation, not less. The idea that we waited until he didn’t have access to enormous power to see if he was a criminal or not blows my mind. Respect for the office shouldn’t protect you from punishment when you’re the one denigrating that office in the first place.
This is like a VEEP special Christmas episode, if they ever did one
All just to keep him from running.
These cases will likely do nothing to stop him from running. Additionally, Trump CAN run from jail, if something were to happen. These investigations are all to hold him accountable for crimes he committed. Many people do believe "you break the law, you go to jail". The President, or a previous President" shouldn't be above the law.
Another thing that should be noted is that during grand jury proceedings the general rules of evidence are not applicable. That means a lot of the stuff you can present to a grand jury would be excluded from trial. Also the defendant does not get to make their case to a grand jury, they only hear one side of the argument, the prosecutors.
Weird way to do things, grand juries are unique to the american system, their role is usually played by a judge or independent prosecutor in other countries.
@@Tiwack01 not all states utilize them the same. Typically older/northeastern states use Grand Juries more frequently than newer/western states.
What’s a ‘district attorney’ I hear that from American media a lot and it confuses me, does an entire district with thousands of people only have one attorney? Do they handle everyone’s case? Are they voted in?
The district attorneys are essentially the chief prosecutors of their respective districts. They administer the local government organization containing all the prosecutors and are themselves the prosecutors responsible for dealing with specific, important cases. (I think in some districts, the DA personally handles all murder cases). Crucially, they are also directly elected instead of being appointed. That said, it's important to remember that the US is a federation, and even within states there's a fair amount of decentralization. This means that exactly what a district attorney varies from district to district, but the fact that the district attorney is the chief prosecutor and is directly elected is pretty much the same everywhere.
To make sure the community is safe. What he did put the community at risk that’s why he is going to jail against each district and not a person. There is multiple attorneys at the “attorney district office”
@@jeffbenton6183 thanks, so the DA is the judge too?

If there's a crime, you file the paperwork and you prosecute it, period.
Yes, I think this whenever I hear fellow liberals say "this isn't the case he should be prosecuted for. It should be the Georgia ballots." Why not hold him accountable for any and all potential crimes committed?
What do you mean he broke the law and they need to figure out what to do about it... You jail him you don't let him get away. That's it.
Why no highlight on the NY State civil inquiry led by Letitia James? She wants to bar the family from doing business in NY.
Good question.
That investigation also referred evidence for possible criminal charges of tax evasion and fraud.
Everyone mentions the "other crime" that the hush money/business fraud needs to be tied to, but the real fatal flaw is that all of those crimes have passed the statute of limitations. This case was brought too late, and that will likely cause it to fail.
Because there's no case, just ask the federal court
@@jamesgang7605 Don't cite an anonymous source and say "it would agree with me". "The federal court" is not a monolith. I would rather ask named experts like P. Andrew Torres who covered this on episode 721 of his podcast Opening Arguments. (Link not provided because UA-cam deletes comments with external links, apparently).
@@Starcrash6984 you'll find out soon enough, there's no sense in arguing with no sense!
@@jamesgang7605 Wow! You really showed me I was wrong!
Nobody ever persuades the person that they're arguing with, and that's not my goal. It's a public argument, one that another person who "has no horse in this race" can look at and say "wow, this person clearly knows what he's talking about while this other guy has nothing".
You been telling me to care about “this one” for like 3 years… idc anymore bro.
His 4 years in office were epically the most entertaining.
All I can say is he did this to himself
Actually, there's no proof he did it himself. He didn't pack his own boxes when he left the White House. Also, it is up to the National Archive group to make sure all boxes are gone through and classified materials are secured. Not the presidents job. Biden was busted for the same thing, so when is he being indicted.
The payment to Stormy Daniels...who cares. The phone call to the politician in Georgia, he didn't tell him to do anything. He just said he needed so many votes to make it and that there should be a recount.
thanks vox for telling me how to think
He also took down all of the memorial status. And on Memorial Day he did not show up for ceremonies he also disrespected the queen Elizabeth
The true test to democracy is to held any citizen accountable no matter their status or position.
He’s going to jail. That phone call oooofff!
I like how he says “if you can find” and then you’re expecting him to give a vague number but no, he ends up asking for the specific amount of votes that will make him win in the Georgia race. 😂 you can’t make this up 😭
@@glossygloss472 ya, snd he’s trying to “lean” on them and utilizes ideas of party loyalty. What a disgrace.
Now make a video of the other ex presidents illegal activities
How about caring about all investigations held against our political leaders. Holding one accountable and not the other is political discrimination.
The narcissists prayer:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, *YOU DESERVED IT.*
I love how the "experts" you interview are just other Vox reporters. It's like that Obama awarding medal to Obama meme
Easy access, and guaranteed not to say anything that doesn't line up with vox's agenda
You characters are funny. Shouldn't you be gushing over at the Fox Ooze channel?
@Anglofone You misspelled your own favorite channel oan. I think I hear your sister calling you back to bed.
Someone who spends their career following and writing on a topic is an expert. It's like how a "professional" is technically someone who gets paid to do something.
The Georgia phone call is cut and dry.
Trump will surely argue that the votes were stolen *from him* and that he was just saying that recovering 11,780 of the votes stolen from him would be enough to restore justice.
I'm sensing that Trump's opponents will definiely consider using that as part of their attack ads.
"i believe we do have an accurate election"
"nope. nope. nope. no you don't."
🗿
Thx, it's interesting to understand all the process going on behind the scenes before arriving to an indictment!👍
I can't believe we have someone trying to deviate the will of the people in a presidential election still walking free.
I can’t believe someone would publicly admit they voted for a senile old man to be their president. You must be so proud.😂 mama should’ve used birth control it sounds like
Why does this process take years, and would adding more staff help to speed it along? Surely it'd be in everyone's interest in a case like this to resolve it, no matter the outcome, before the campaign really heats up.
There are more crimes committed each year than trials held. This leads to a huge backlog. Most cases also require more than 1 court hearing
We all know why they are going after Trump. It is because he is different and relatable. He is not your "typical politician" and I think he will win again. But hey, let's pretend we don't.
IT. IS. OBVIOUS. GUILTY. GUILTY. GUILTY. LOCK. HIM. UP.
Frump
people were saying for years that this guy is sus, now its all coming out.
And it only came out when he became president. Coincidence. Not likely..
I recently watched a video of a Fox News host saying something that a lot of Trump supporters agree with. "If you break the law, you go to jail!"
Rules for thee, not for me.
Such a great video, thank you for laying out the issue so clearly
North america really been focusing on all the wrong things and its truly sad to watch
Can confirm, it’s really depressing
Good job guys, we definitely need more great videos like this one!!!!👏🙏🇺🇸
the frame rate of the animations made my brain hurt
Lock him up!
Thanks for this video! As someone living in Western Europe it can be hard to actually have an idea on what's happening and for what exact reasons. Now I feel like I can follow the news about it while knowing what they mean :)
If you want to know what's going on, VOX is the last place you should go.
@@mikewilliams6025 Then tell me, according to you what's the first place I should go to
@@poltergijs9959 Tucker Carlson
He was sedated in some way to get him to sit still, not burst out with threats and insults. He was subdued when he returned to Mara Lago.
Can you point me in the direction of clips that show him in a rage please.
@@roughhabit6496 Bruh look up any speech or rally video of his, he basically just yells angrily about all of his various enemies for as long as he can muster on an empty belly of three McDonald's burgers+ gallon of diet coke
