Donald Trump and his allies are facing a lot of legal challenges.
The New York investigations into his company's finances are ongoing, as are other lawsuits related to his business.
Dates to watch out for this year.
Since leaving the White House, former President Donald Trump has had a number of surprising legal victories.
Summer Zervos dropped her lawsuit against Trump before he was forced to give a deposition. At the same time, a New York state judge dismissed a lawsuit from Michael Cohen that sought to have the Trump Organization reimburse legal fees for work he did on Trump's behalf.
There are more dangers that loom. The Manhattan District Attorney's and New York Attorney General's offices are investigating the Trump Organization.
The Fulton County District Attorney in Atlanta is considering charges over his conduct in the election. The Justice Department has a five-year deadline to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice, which was part of the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol is getting a steady stream of White House records from the Biden administration. Many of Trump's allies face political investigations and lawsuits stemming from the January 6 insurrection. The judges will set court dates for those cases later this year.
The year of legal headaches for Trump and his associates is shaping up to be a year in which Trump decides whether to run for president again. The threats Trumpworld faces are listed here.
January.
The criminal case against the Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg will be heard by a New York state court in Manhattan.
The public will be updated on how the Trump Organization lawyers are reviewing the 6 million pages of discovery material for the case, where the Manhattan District Attorney alleges the company and executive dodged millions of dollars in taxes. The judge wants to hold a trial by the end of 2022.
February.
The Biden administration was going to give the House committee the White House records, but Trump's lawyers wanted them to stay in federal courts. The Supreme Court effectively rejected the former president's claim of executive privilege.
With the National Archives and Records Administration turning over documents, Trump is facing a decision on whether to proceed with his legal challenge.
An answer could come in February. Lawyers for the House and Biden administration asked to have more time to make their response to Trump's legal arguments after the Supreme Court declined to take up the case.
The lawyers agreed that the best course of action was to extend the deadline so that Trump could make a decision.
A Washington, DC, court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Attorney General's lawsuit against Donald Trump's inaugural committee. In November, Trump got a partial win as the judge dismissed part of the suit, but other parts of the case will be moving forward. The schedule for the discovery process is expected to be set at the hearing.
March.
A judge is expected to sentence Greenberg, a former associate of Gaetz. The Justice Department is investigating the lawmaker.
The associate of Gaetz has pleaded guilty. Gaetz is a loyal supporter of Trump.
April.
The second special grand jury empaneled by the Manhattan District Attorney's office in its criminal investigation into the Trump Organization's finances is set to conclude by April 4. A decision from prosecutors on whether to indict or not could come soon after.
May.
A civil trial for a group of protesters against the Trump Organization is scheduled to begin on May 2. The protesters sued in 2015, accusing the company's security guards of roughing them up. The deposition Trump was forced to take in the fall is expected to be shown at the trial.
A special grand jury will be impaneled on May 2 to investigate Trump. This announcement on Monday is related to the request for a special grand jury that would allow her to obtain documents and compel witnesses to testify.
June.
The Fulton County District Attorney told the Associated Press in January that she is expecting to make a decision on whether to charge Trump by the first half of 2022.
June 29 will be the day when litigants will get to see a copy of Trump's tapes. June 29 is the deadline for discovery in a lawsuit brought by a group of people who say the Trump Organization pushed an alleged pyramid scheme.
While Trump vouched for the ACN Videophone, litigants are trying to figure out if other footage shot for the show proved otherwise. A jury trial is expected to be held in late 2022, or later, after ACN lost an attempt to bring the case to arbitration.
July.
The deadline for prosecutors and Roger Stone, one of Trump's political advisors, to meet is July 7. US attorneys in Florida have accused Stone of failing to pay $2 million in taxes.
The former White House chief strategist is expected to go to court. There are two criminal charges against Bannon. He was charged by the Justice Department in November 2021, after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee.
September.
Tom Barrack, the chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, is set to stand trial in September on charges that he acted as an agent of the United Arab Emirates.
In July, Barrack was charged with using his access to Trump to advance the United Arab Emirates foreign policy goals and then misleading federal investigators about his activities.
The indictment of the top Trump fundraiser marked an increase in the Justice Department's campaign against covert foreign influence.
Daniel Petrocelli, a partner at the law firm O&Melveny & Myers, previously represented Jeffrey Skilling and defended AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner.
November.
Roger Stone is scheduled to go to trial in federal court in Florida over allegations that he failed to pay $2 million in taxes, as well as interest and penalties.
The story stated that the US attorneys in Florida filed a criminal indictment against Roger Stone for failing to pay taxes. They accused him of owing $2 million in taxes, interest, and penalties.
