Donald Trump’s ability to wriggle out of trouble is so prolific that it’s basically become a meme. But the next few weeks are quietly some of the former president’s most legally perilous.
Trump is set to testify this month under oath in two separate court cases that could both destroy his family company. He may even face a third deposition in a case that accuses him of abusing the power of the presidency by misusing the Justice Department to punish his former lawyer.
In the intervening weeks between those two precarious depositions, the Trump Organization is also scheduled to be in a civil trial for beating up protesters on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Meanwhile, criminal charges for dodging taxes are hanging over Trump, and his longtime money man—ex-chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg—could be on trial for dodging taxes, too.
