Trump's 77th Birthday Overshadowed by Charges and Arrest
TL;DR Summary
Former US President Donald Trump spent his 77th birthday consolidating his lead in the Republican primary race for 2024 under the shadow of federal criminal charges and bracing for further legal bombshells. Trump pleaded not guilty to a 37-count indictment alleging that he unlawfully hoarded national security documents when he left office and lied to officials who sought to recover them. He could face a significant prison sentence if convicted. The cascade of legal perils poses his biggest test yet, but the legal woes and growing threat of prison give Trump more incentive than ever to fight tooth and nail for the White House in a November 2024 election.
