00:00 Well despite the indictments, former President Trump is still the frontrunner for the Republican

00:04 nomination.

00:05 But now with these indictments, his campaign out there, how will it be impacted by required

00:11 court appearances?

00:12 Yes, Scripps News congressional correspondent Stephanie Liebergen digs into how Trump's

00:17 court requirements and campaign requirements might intersect.

00:21 With multiple pending court cases, the Trump campaign is in uncharted territory.

00:26 So what comes next for former President Trump as he tries to balance criminal cases, civil

00:31 lawsuits and his 2024 campaign?

00:33 The indictment brings felony charges against Donald John Trump.

00:39 With the announcement of his fourth criminal indictment, former President Trump's busy

00:43 schedule just got even busier.

00:45 In the immediate future, Trump and his fellow 18 co-defendants have until noon on August

00:50 25th to turn themselves in in Fulton County, Georgia.

00:53 On Monday, the former president scheduled a major news conference in Bedminster, New

00:57 Jersey.

00:58 Trump claims he'll release an irrefutable report on presidential election fraud, even

01:02 though multiple court cases and investigations have failed to corroborate those claims.

01:07 And on Wednesday, the first GOP presidential debate will happen in Milwaukee.

01:11 While Trump has certainly hit the polling and fundraising minimums, we don't know if

01:15 he'll choose to participate.

01:16 Looking further ahead, Trump's criminal and civil cases are bound to overlap with his

01:21 2024 campaign.

01:22 "We love Trump!

01:23 We love Trump!

01:24 We love Trump!"

01:25 "We love Trump!"

01:26 The Iowa Republican caucuses are set for January 15th.

01:28 That's the same day author E. Jean Carroll's civil defamation case is set to go to trial

01:33 in New York, though Trump is not expected to appear in person.

01:36 A majority of states will likely hold their primaries or caucuses sometime between March

01:39 and June next year.

01:41 That's when two of the four criminal cases are currently set to go to trial.

01:45 In New York, where Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records, a jury trial

01:49 is scheduled to begin on March 25th.

01:52 And in Florida, where he faces 40 charges related to the mishandling of classified documents,

01:57 trial is scheduled to begin May 20th.

01:59 Trial dates are yet to be set in Washington, D.C. and in Georgia, but the schedules for

02:04 all the court cases involving former President Trump are fluid and subject to change.
