 to "intercede" in his legal battles as he bids to become president for a second time. Trump faces a raft of legal problems compounded by his appearance in a courtroom in Washington DC yesterday after he was indicted on four counts related to alleged attempts to undermine the 2020 election. He now faces 78 charges in total with a potential for over 600 years in prison if maximum penalties were to be applied. On his Truth Social media platform, the 45th president, 77, said the money he was being forced to spend on legal fees amounted to "election interference." He said: "CRAZY! My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including D.A., A.G., and others, which require massive amounts of my time & money to adjudicate. "Resources that would have gone into Ads and Rallies, will now have to be spent fighting these Radical Left Thugs in numerous courts throughout the Country. I am leading in all Polls, including against Crooked Joe, but this is not a level playing field. It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede. MAGA!"

Trump faces a number of legal battles including a charge in New York alleging he is responsible for falsifying business records in regards to a hush money payment paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

The businessman-turned-politician has also denied 37 counts of illegally retaining classified){kind=link}
