Arraigned, Arraigned, and Arraigned

    Like many of you, I wonder how many times former President Trump has been arraigned on criminal charges.

   First off, of the 46 people who have served as president, none of the others ever faced criminal charges. None. Trump is the first. 

   And, how many times, then, has he been arraigned? Three. In April, he was arraigned on charges of paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quite about an affair. In June, he was arraigned on charges of keeping classified documents. And now, in early August, he has been arraigned of charges of subverting an election. 

   A forth case looms. Before the end of the month, prosecutors are expected to file charges that he illegally meddled in the election in Georgia.

  Then, there is the civil case in which he already has been found liable of sexually assaulting advice columnist E. Jean Carrol. In another civil case, this one yet to be tried, Trump is accused of misleading banks and tax collectors about the value of his assets.

  Such a collection.
