Four indictments, 91 criminal charges, up to 700 years in jail: Trump’s legal woes in numbers
Four indictments, 91 criminal charges, up to 700 years in jail: Trump’s legal woes in numbers
Donald Trump was indicted for the fourth time in less than five months and now faces 91 criminal counts which carry a possible total of more than seven centuries behind bars. While it’s unlikely that the former president will be sentenced to hundreds of years in prison, the risk of some prison time is very real. Mr Trump was hit with his latest indictment on Monday night, where a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, charged him alongside 18 others for scheming to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. It came just weeks after the twice-impeached president was charged by the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith on the federal level in cases related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6 insurrection. In June, Mr Trump was federally charged with 32 counts for mishandling of classified documents in Florida, with six more counts handed down in early August in a superseding indictment. Mr Trump’s first indictment was at the state level in late March, when he was charged with 34 counts by the Manhattan District Attorney for making hush money payments to adult actor Stormy Daniels and others ahead of the 2016 election. Here’s a rundown of all the charges Mr Trump faces - and the possible jail time they carry on conviction: Prosecuting office Charge Counts Maximum prison time per count Manhattan District Attorney (New York) Hush money payments 34 - Falsifying business records Four years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Mishandling of classified information 32 - Willful retention of national secrets 10 years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Mishandling of classified information Six - Obstruction of justice 20 years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Mishandling of classified information Two - False statements Five years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Efforts to overturn 2020 election Two - Obstructing an official proceeding 20 years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Efforts to overturn 2020 election One - Conspiracy against the right to vote 10 years Special Counsel’s Office (Federal) Efforts to overturn 2020 election One - Defrauding the United States Five years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia One - Violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) 20 years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia Three - Soliciting violation of oath by a public officer Three years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia One - Conspiring to commit impersonating a public officer Two and a half years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia Two - Conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree Seven and a half years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia Two - Consiring to commit false statements and writing Two and a half years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia One - Conspiring to commit filing false documents Five years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia One - Filing false documents 10 years Fulton County District Attorney (Georgia) Efforts to overturn 2020 election in Georgia Two - False statements and writings Five years TOTAL 91 COUNTS 717.5 YEARS Read More Who is Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who could take down Trump The biggest problem facing Donald Trump?

Watch live: Biden delivers ‘Bidenomics’ speech in battleground state Wisconsin
Watch live: Biden delivers ‘Bidenomics’ speech in battleground state Wisconsin
Watch live as Joe Biden delivers a speech highlighting his “Bidenomics” economic policies in the battleground state of Milwaukee on Tuesday, 15 August. The US president’s visit comes a week after Republicans will descend upon the state for the first GOP presidential debate. “Bidenomics,” named by the White House, is the Biden administration’s plan to “grow the economy from the middle out and the bottom up” centred around three pillars: making smart public investments, empowering and educating workers to grow the middle class, and promoting competition to lower costs and help entrepreneurs and small businesses thrive. On Tuesday, Mr Biden will also tour clean energy manufacturer Ingeteam, a company which the White House says has plans to hire 100 workers using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law money to start producing EV charging stations domestically. Republicans will hold their first presidential primary debate in Milwaukee on 23 August. It is not confirmed whether former president Donald Trump will boycott or hold a competing event.

More than 3,000 tourists flee as fires tear through holiday spot in France
More than 3,000 tourists flee as fires tear through holiday spot in France
More than 3,000 tourists have been evacuated from a holiday hotspot in the south of France after a devastating wildfire ripped through homes and campsites overnight. Holidaymakers fled from four campsites close to the Spanish border as flames spread across 500 hectares of land. Around 650 firefighters battled the flames in the Pyrénées-Orientales region, which left 17 with minor injuries, the local prefecture announced. Sparked by “intense heat, dryness and tumultuous winds of up to 180km/h,” the fire broke out between Saint André and Argelès-sur-Mer. Michalak Guimbert, deputy mayor of Argeles-sur-Mer, said tourists had arrived in municipal halls “in swimsuits” because they were returning from the beach when the fire broke out. She said “flabbergasted children” were among those running from the flames. As the wildfires were brought under control by Tuesday morning, the extent of the devastation wrought by the flames was clear. Pictures show blackened and charred campsites, which were brimming with happy holidaymakers just hours before. As well as a campsite and warehouse, thirty houses have been damaged by the fire. “Our town is hard hit, and there is a lot of damage,” Saint-André’s mayor, Samuel Molly, told France Bleu. “The village is burned on both sides, a third has been hit by the fire.” Christelle, a resident who fled her home, told France Bleu Roussillon: “This fire is very impressive, it scares me. I hope I will find my whole house.” The fire is now under control, the French interior minister Gérald Darmanin said on Twitter. No residents or tourists were injured but Mr Darmanin asked that “the population and holidaymakers be extremely vigilant”. France’s minister of ecological transition, Christophe Béchu, visited Les Chênes Rouges campsite on Tuesday. He posted photos of charred trees, saying: “These striking images testify to the intensity of the fire. I am committed to supporting tourism stakeholders in the reconstruction and restoration of devastated natural areas.” “Drought and fire are two sides of the same coin: climate change,” Mr Bechu said. Most of the evacuees have been able to return to their accommodation or homes, but a few dozen tourists were still waiting to be rehoused, Mr Bechu told reporters in Saint-Andre. Some of those people lost their documents, money and cars in the blaze, he added. Wildfires have battered Europe this summer, with both locals and tourists being forced to flee from the deadly flames. Mr Bechu said that this summer has seen fewer fires in France than last year, when 70,000 hectares were burnt to cinders – but it was necessary to be "humble" as summer was not over. Five regions in the east of the country are currently on "high alert" for heatwaves, according to the French weather authority Meteo France website. Last week, firefighters evacuated more than 130 people as they fought to control a wildfire at Portbou on the Spanish border with France on the Mediterranean coast. The blaze ravaged around 435 hectares of land.
