Donald Trump is now the subject of four criminal cases at a time when he is also hot on the trail of another stint in the White House.
The former president was indicted, again, by a grand jury in Georgia on Monday 14 August – less than a month after Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith unveiled federal charges against him for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
This time, Mr Trump was charged by Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis with 13 counts related to an alleged conspiracy to alter the election result in the swing state in the days that followed his defeat to Joe Biden.
He was charged alongside 18 other defendants, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and Sidney Powell, in an indictment containing 41 counts in total related to racketeering.
In a 98-page dossier, based on a two-year investigation, Ms Willis outlined the ways that Mr Trump and his co-defendants had allegedly conspired to replace electors with fake ones, unlawfully accessed voter data, harassed election workers and solicited public officials to reject the results.
The former president surrendered to authorities in Fulton County on Thursday evening where he was arrested, fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken.
This is the fourth criminal indictment Mr Trump has received this year, the latest unprecedented milestone for the first American president to have been impeached twice.
So, amongst all that, can he still run for President in the 2024 elections?
