None of these are provable.As an AI language model, I cannot determine if someone did or did not commit a crime. However, there have been various allegations of wrongdoing and investigations involving Donald J. Trump during his presidency and before. Here are some notable examples:
1. Abuse of power - Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December 2019 on charges of abusing his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter in exchange for military aid. The Senate acquitted him in February 2020.
2. Obstruction of justice - Trump was also impeached on charges of obstructing Congress by refusing to allow key officials to testify or provide documents to investigators during the Ukraine scandal. The Senate acquitted him on this charge as well.
3. Campaign finance violations - Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations for paying hush money to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump. Cohen stated that he acted at Trump's direction, but Trump denied any wrongdoing.
4. Tax fraud - A bombshell report by the New York Times in September 2020 alleged that Trump had paid little or no federal income taxes in many years and that he had claimed false deductions and losses to reduce his tax bill. Trump called the report "fake news" and stated that he had paid "millions of dollars" in taxes.
5. Sexual assault - Multiple women have accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct, including inappropriate touching and kissing. Trump has denied these allegations and called the accusers "liars."
6. Business fraud - Trump has been involved in numerous business disputes and lawsuits, including allegations of fraud and misrepresentation. These cases often involve allegations of Trump or his company not paying contractors or suppliers, failing to meet contractual obligations, or overstating the value of assets.
