    He was impeached for it, but the Senate Republicans voted against consequences.

    He’s been indicted for violating the espionage act

    He’s expected to be indicted for election interference in Georgia

    He’s expected to be indicted for paying hush money.

    This is the first criminal charge for his Jan. 6 insurrection

    Edit: added a couple more indictments

        If he is convicted, there’s the potential for a couple decades in prison.
