Donald Trump on criminal trial on March 25, a first for a former American president. At 77, the master of the Republicans has even turned the courts into political forums.

The Republican favorite took advantage of each of his appearances in the courtrooms to portray himself, without evidence, as a victim of legal machinations. And his legal troubles allowed him to raise millions of dollars from activists.          He is also being prosecuted in federal and Georgia state courts for his allegedly unlawful attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election won by Joe Biden.
