Donald Trump
Role
45th and 47th President of the United States
Background
Donald Trump served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021 and was elected the 47th president in November 2024. In May 2024, a New York jury convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments; sentencing was repeatedly deferred. The House impeached him twice: in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to Ukraine, and again in January 2021 on a charge of incitement of insurrection following the January 6 Capitol attack. The Senate acquitted him on both occasions. The Mueller Report documented ten episodes of potential obstruction of the Special Counsel investigation.
