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 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.

Rachel Morin – latest: Bel Air mother-of-five’s killer remains at large as Maryland police step up patrols
More than a week after mother-of-five Rachel Morin was found dead on a popular trail in Maryland, authorities have yet to make any arrests in the investigation into her death. Morin, 37, was last seen heading to the Ma & Pa Trail at around 6pm on 5 August. Her boyfriend reported her missing that night after she failed to return home and her body was found the following day. On Thursday, Harford County Sheriff’s Office said investigators had been made aware of potential witnesses who may have seen Morin on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air on Saturday. The witnesses – either three men, two women and two dogs or two men, three women and two dogs – were urged to come forward. Officials said that these individuals had been identified and were contacted by investigators. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told The Independent on Tuesday that the department had increased patrol on the Ma & Pa Trail area to reassure the community in the aftermath of Morin’s tragic death, but noted that there is no perceived threat at this time.
