Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus. and has now been determined to be for damages only as Trump was already found liable.
As a function of the January 6th and Georgia trials, there are now lawsuits in two states to bar Trump from the primary ballot based on the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Colorado: 9/6/2023 - Lawsuit filed.
Minnesota: 9/12/2023 - Lawsuit filed.
A long-shot write in candidate for President has also filed suits seeking to bar Trump from the ballot in Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
A federal lawsuit to bar trump from running in New Mexico has also been filed:

That's the same guy with the 11 at the bottom, I'll get it added.
Aha, I see what you mean... it's in the list in the last sentence.
I added it. :) It wasn't in the original article I linked, but it is the same guy.
Quality compilation, great info.
Im starting to think this cheeto guy is bad
Do we know at what hour?
Courthouse opens at 8:30 AM Eastern Time, so I'd expect court starts at 9 probably?
6 AM for me. Woof.
15:00 for CEST, thanks.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but none of this is yet related to January 6, that's still to come, right?
Yes and no. This is the Georgia election interference case, but there are aspects of it that will pop up in the January 6 trial, notably the conspiracy to halt the counting of electors by posting fake electors in multiple states (including Georgia).
Jack Smith was assigned to work on Trump's potential involvement in January 6, along with Mar a Lago documents, and any related crimes found along the way. So far he's charged for election interference attempts leading up to J6. He still hasn't made any incitement or seditious conspiracy charges just yet and may choose not to for whatever reason.
There's still enough that Trump is kinda legally megafucked as it is.
