I don’t have live web access, so I can’t pull news from today (May 4, 2026). I can, however, summarize what was known about Donald Trump through my last update (June 2024) and help you get more recent information if you want. Which would you prefer — the June 2024 summary now, or help finding the very latest reports?

Brief summary (through June 2024)

- Political status: By mid‑2024 Trump was the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election and was actively campaigning — holding rallies, fundraising, and debating policy positions for a potential rematch with President Joe Biden. He had not publicly named a running mate as of June 2024.

- Criminal indictments: As of June 2024 Trump faced multiple criminal indictments in different jurisdictions. He pleaded not guilty in each and was fighting the charges through pretrial motions and litigation. The main matters were:
  - Manhattan (New York) “hush‑money” case related to payments tied to Stormy Daniels and business records counts.
  - Federal classified‑documents case (DOJ) concerning classified materials recovered at Mar‑a‑Lago.
  - Federal Jan. 6‑related indictment brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith alleging schemes to overturn the 2020 election and obstruction of the Jan. 6 proceeding.
  - Fulton County (Georgia) case alleging election‑subversion activities connected to the 2020 Georgia results, including the phone call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
  (Status in each was ongoing — motions, appeals and scheduling disputes were active.)

- Civil litigation and state enforcement: He and his businesses were also facing significant civil litigation and state enforcement actions (for example, a New York Attorney General civil fraud case alleging years of business valuation and accounting misstatements). Those cases sought monetary penalties and business‑practice remedies; many issues were subject to appeals and further proceedings.

- Public profile and platforms: Trump continued to campaign publicly, using rallies and his own platform (Truth Social) to communicate. He remained a dominant figure in Republican politics and a polarizing national figure, with strong support among a substantial GOP base and intense scrutiny from opponents and the press.

If you want the absolute latest (May 2026) I can:
- Suggest reliable sources and search tips to check current developments (AP, Reuters, NYT, Washington Post, BBC, Politico, court dockets).
- Summarize any recent news article or link you provide.
- Walk you through how to check court dockets (PACER for federal, state court sites) or use alerts.

Which would you like me to do? If you want the June 2024 period expanded (timelines, legal details, polling, or notable statements), tell me which area and I’ll expand.
