Former President Donald Trump’s legal woes are far from over — he faces three other criminal trials and is appealing the losses of three financially devastating civil penalties following his stunning conviction Thursday in his Manhattan hush money case.
The 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate still faces 54 criminal counts spanning three other cases — each in separate states — and is all but certain to appeal his New York conviction, too.
In theory, the ex-commander-in-chief could end up imprisoned for over a century if he’s convicted of all the charges.

None of the three remaining cases have scheduled trial dates yet and are all likely to occur after the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Trump was first charged in the case, alongside his valet Walt Nauta and property manager Carlos De Oliveira, in June 2023 and it’s one of two federal cases being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith.
