Former President Donald Trump is facing a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases — and up to 712 years and six months behind bars if convicted of all of them.
The whopping tally of charges includes 13 new raps related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
A Georgia grand jury indicted Trump, 77, on Monday and charged him with felony racketeering, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.
The 98-page indictment names Trump’s top allies including his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and onetime Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, along with 15 others.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who launched the investigation into Trump and his associates nearly two years ago, said she intends to try all 19 defendants.
“I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon on Friday the 25th day of August 2023,” Willis said during a late-night news conference Monday.
With the hope of moving things along quickly, Willis said she plans to take the case to trial “within the next six months.”
If that timetable is approved by a judge, she would become the first prosecutor to put a former American president on trial.
Willis’ prosecution — the fourth brought against Trump in about four and a half months — adds the 13 charges to Trump’s three existing criminal indictments, leaving the former president facing a grand total of 91 charges across the four cases.
The Georgia case alone carries total potential prison time of up to 71 years and six months, Mediaite said.
Here are all of the other legal troubles Trump will face as he heads toward the 2024 election as the GOP front-runner.

Mar-a-Lago classified documents
The former president was slapped with 40 felony counts related to his storage of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate — making him the first former president to be federally indicted.
In June, Trump was accused of taking around 11,000 documents, some containing classified national security secrets, and storing them haphazardly at his Florida home in places such as “a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room,” according to the Department of Justice.
The most serious charge in the case carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison — but the raps total up to a potential 450 years behind bars all together.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to the counts, filed by special counsel Jack Smith, related to the alleged improper retention of classified records.
US District Judge Aileen Cannon set a trial date in the case for May 20, 2024.
2020 election overturn bid
Weeks later, in August, Smith also charged Trump with four counts in connection to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election ahead of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection led by his supporters at the US Capitol.
The four-count indictment includes charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States government and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding: the congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
The charges add up to a potential 55 years behind bars.
Prosecutors alleged that Trump’s constant claims of election fraud costing him re-election “were false and [Trump] knew they were false.”
Stormy Daniels’ ‘hush money’
Trump also was indicted by a New York grand jury in March over “hush money” payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
The former president faces 34 counts for allegedly falsifying business records to hide the payments, which were made by his then-lawyer Michael Cohen.
Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her silence about a sexual encounter she claimed she had with the married Trump.
Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Each count is punishable by up to four years in prison — for a grand total of 136 years.
He is scheduled to appear in court for the case Jan. 4.
New York’s civil cases
The former president has been sued by New York Attorney General Letitia James, too. She is alleging that Trump and three of his children lied to banks about his net worth and overvalued his assets, including his hotels and golf courses, by billions of dollars to gain advantages.
James is seeking a $250 million fine and a ban on Trump doing business in New York state.
A civil trial is scheduled in state court for October.
In a separate civil case in New York, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. She was awarded $5 million in damages from Trump.
While jurors did not find Trump liable for rape, they determined he should be on the hook for sexual abuse and defamation. He was ordered to pay the dough to Carroll, and a judge later rejected his claims that the award was excessive and struck down a defamation lawsuit he filed against Carroll.
The former president has pleaded not guilty to all pending criminal cases against him and has vehemently denied wrongdoing across the board.
