The five investigations are:
(1) “the classified documents investigation,”
(2) “the January 6 investigation,”
(3) “the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation,”
(4) “the Georgia election investigation,”
(5) “the New York State civil case.”
“Donald Trump and his business empire are currently the subjects of no fewer than five major simultaneous investigations, a truly extraordinary challenge for anyone, let alone a former and possibly future president of the United States,” Khardori explains.
“These are complicated investigations, with long and winding paths to resolution. They involve scores of federal and state investigators and witnesses across the country, from politicians eager to shield themselves from scrutiny to employees turning
on their colleagues___
to a former president who knows how to navigate
and manipulate — the legal system like no one else.”
#1 and #2 are federal criminal investigations being conducted by the DOJ, one for keeping government documents at Mar-a-Lago instead of handing them over the federal government when he left office, and the other for activities related to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. In #3, according to Khardori, Manhattan DA’s Office investigators are asking:
“Did the Trump Organization commit tax fraud or other financial crimes?” And with #4, the big question for Willis is:
“Did Trump break the law to try to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia?”
Both #3 and #5 are investigations of the Trump Organization’s financial activities.
The question that James is asking with #5, according to Khardori, is, “Did Trump and his children lie to lenders and insurers about the Trump Organization’s financial condition?”
But while James’ probe is a civil investigation, the Manhattan DA’s Office is conducting a criminal investigation.
Allen Weisselberg, known for his many years as chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, has been charged with financial crimes by the Manhattan DA’s Office, but Trump himself hasn’t been charged with anything. yet.
“The public has very little visibility into how these investigations are proceeding day by day, as government officials quietly gather evidence and plan their next moves,” Khardori explains.
“Any number of unexpected developments —
surprise witnesses hung juries and perhaps even a special counsel empowered to oversee Justice Department investigations — could slow or derail their work.
