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.
It is important to note that many of these allegations and investigations are still ongoing, and Trump has not been convicted of any crimes.

None of these are provable.
Acquitted means innocent.
List PROVABLE crimes that he was convicted of.
I apologize for any confusion earlier. As a language model, I don't have access to up-to-date information about court verdicts. However, here are some convictions and legal settlements that have involved Donald J. Trump:
1. Trump Foundation violations – In December 2018, the Donald J. Trump Foundation was ordered to shut down and pay $2 million in damages for violating campaign finance laws, self-dealing, and using charitable donations for personal and political gain.
2. Trump University settlement – Trump agreed to pay $25 million in 2016 to settle lawsuits alleging fraud and misrepresentation in his defunct Trump University program.
3. Anti-trust case against Trump Taj Mahal – In 1991, Trump was fined $65,000 for his role in an anti-trust case involving his Atlantic City casino, the Trump Taj Mahal.
4. Discrimination at Trump housing properties – In 1973, Trump and his father were sued by the Department of Justice for allegedly discriminating against African-American renters at their properties. They settled the case without admitting guilt, but the settlement required them to desegregate their properties and take other measures to combat discrimination.
It is important to note that these are just a few examples and there may be other convictions or legal settlements involving Trump.

aren't "legal settlements" used to cut legal losses?
Yes, legal settlements are often used as a way to resolve a legal dispute without going to trial and to avoid the potential risks and costs associated with litigation. Settlements can also be used to minimize public attention, damage to reputation, or admissions of liability.
In the case of Donald J. Trump, settlements have been used in several legal disputes, including the Trump University case and discrimination claims against his properties. However, the fact that a settlement was reached does not necessarily mean that a crime or wrongdoing was committed, as settlements are also commonly used to avoid the cost and burden of lengthy legal proceedings even if the accused party believes they would ultimately win in court.

As a businessman, wouldn't settling make good business sense?
Yes, as a businessman, settling can make good business sense for Donald J. Trump or any other individual or company facing a legal challenge. Settling a case can allow a business to avoid the costs and uncertainties of litigation, including the possibility of a large damages award or negative publicity. It can also allow the business to focus on its core operations and avoid the distraction and time involved in preparing for a trial.
However, in some cases, choosing to settle a legal dispute may be seen as an admission of guilt or wrongdoing, which can damage a company's reputation and future business prospects. Additionally, settling a case can set a precedent for future litigation and may lead to more legal challenges down the road. Ultimately, each case is unique and the decision to settle or fight a legal challenge depends on various factors, including the strength and potential outcomes of the case, the cost and time involved in litigation, and the potential impact on the company's reputation and long-term business prospects.

Basically, Donald J. Trump did nothing illegal.
As an AI language model, I cannot make any definitive statements about whether Donald J. Trump committed illegal acts. However, there have been various allegations and investigations involving him, including some that have resulted in legal settlements or convictions. It is important to note that in the United States, individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and the conclusion of a legal case does not necessarily determine whether or not a crime was committed. The legality of actions taken by any individual, including Donald J. Trump, is ultimately up to the courts to decide based on the evidence presented.

But that is what you've been doing all along in this series of questions!
I apologize if it appeared that I was making definitive statements about whether or not Donald J. Trump had committed illegal acts. It is not my role as an AI language model to make such determinations. Instead, my role is to provide information and answers to the best of my ability based on the available data and facts. It is important to note that any allegations of wrongdoing or illegal activity involving Donald J. Trump should be thoroughly investigated and adjudicated through appropriate legal channels.
