I saw a list once but can’t find it, plus the list is constantly growing anyway.

I’d prefer to separate the list into 2 separate sections.

1. Violations of criminal law
2. Impeachable offenses

I know hes been accused of tax fraud, insurance fraud, campaign finance violations, sexual assaults, obstruction of justice, etc. for point 1. But I don’t know the details of some of them.

Technically there is a 3rd category.

1. civil matters

But that one would be gigantic and I’m more interested in what criminal laws he has been accused of breaking both before and during his presidency.

> Early in President Trump’s term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, and crimes, and it felt urgent then to track them, to ensure these horrors — happening almost daily — would not be forgotten. This election year, amid a harrowing global health, civil rights, humanitarian, and economic crisis, we know it’s never been more critical to note these horrors, to remember them, and to do all in our power to reverse them. This list will be updated between now and the November 2020 Presidential election.
