What is lawfare ?? :) )

From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.[1] He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault,[2][3] with one accusation resulting in him being held civilly liable.[4]

In 2015, Trump's lawyer Alan Garten called Trump's legal entanglement "a natural part of doing business" in the U.S.[5][6] While litigation is indeed common in the real estate industry,[5] Trump has been involved in more legal cases than his fellow magnates Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.[7] Numerous legal matters and investigations occurred during and after Trump's presidency, some being of historical import.

Between October 2021 and July 2022 alone, the Republican National Committee paid more than US$2 million to attorneys representing Trump in his presidential, personal, and business capacities.[8] The New York Times published an overview of his legal involvements as of September 2022.[9] In January 2023, a federal judge fined Trump and his attorney nearly $1 million, characterizing him as "a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries".[10]

On December 6, 2022, the parent company of Trump's many businesses, The Trump Organization, was convicted on 17 criminal charges.[11][12][13]

On March 30, 2023, in People v. Trump, he was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan, New York, on 34 state felony criminal counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to an adult film actress prior to his election to the presidency. He was arraigned on April 4, 2023, and pleaded not guilty to all counts.[14][15] The trial started on April 15, 2024.[16]

On May 9, 2023, regarding E. Jean Carroll's claims of defamation and sexual assault, an anonymous jury[17] found Trump liable for sexual abuse (the New York definition of which constitutes the common understanding of rape, as a judge had to explicate in response to disinformation from Trump's legal team)[18] and defamation against Carroll and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million in damages.[4][19] On January 26, 2024, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages in a second defamation lawsuit.[20]

In June 2023, Trump was indicted on federal criminal charges relating to his handling of classified documents and was arraigned in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. A pretrial hearing was scheduled for May 14, 2024.[21]

On August 14, 2023, Trump was criminally indicted by a grand jury in Georgia on state election-related charges. Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney Fani Willis investigated his efforts to overturn that state's 2020 presidential election results.[22]
