Donald Trump was hit with his third indictment this week, with four charges that carry a maximum of 55 years in prison.
His laundry list of legal problems - including 40 federal charges in Florida, the Stormy Daniels hush-money case in Manhattan and a looming indictment in Georgia - means he will likely be on trial during the next White House campaign.
He is the odds-on favorite to be the Republican nominee for president and could be convicted and sentenced before Americans go to the polls in November 2024.
It means he and the U.S. are in an unprecedented position that poses the question: Can he still run for and be president if he is in custody?
'We don't know the timetables, the timetables of these trials,' Timothy Naftali, a Senior Research Scholar at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, told DailyMail.com. 'And we don't know whether he'll be found guilty. And we don't know if if a portion of the Republican electorate will start looking for alternatives if and when some of these trials start.'
There are still a lot of unknowns, so DailyMail.com has broken down what happens if he is found guilty in one of his multiple cases.
