The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

Thanks a lot, this clarified this news article instantly for me!
Man, the New York charges get me every time 34 state felonies while a literal insurrection attempt gets 4 federal. I already knew NY as a whole didn’t like Trump but it’s glorious to see how much they must hate him
(I know Florida has more, but I’m not holding my breath because it’s florida.)
To be honest, I don’t think it’s about quantity, but more about quality.
I’d rather Trump have one, one single charge of insurrection that leads him to life in prison (or 20 years or whatever, which would pretty much be life for him), than 50 that lead to nothing.
