Presidential documents recovered at Trump residence in Florida 1:45
(CNN) --
Whether it's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, the handling of sensitive White House documents, or the finances of his namesake business, the volume of investigations involving former President Donald Trump is staggering.
Trump is being sued by lawmakers and police officers, his niece Mary Trump, magazine writer E. Jean Carroll, whose rape claim he denies, and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who has already served time in jail.
The New York State Attorney General and the Manhattan District Attorney investigate his company.
And various congressional committees still want to see his tax returns.
Here are some notable investigations and lawsuits:
Jan 6: House select committee investigation
The panel made up of Democrats and two Republicans, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, is investigating everything leading up to and involving the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters who disrupted the certification of Joe Biden's victory.
The commission issued at least 80 subpoenas requesting testimony or phone records from close Trump advisers, including Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally and former White House staffers.

Of special interest, according to CNN reports, are Trump's activities on January 6 and efforts to use government levers to nullify the election.
The commission also has records related to January 6 from the Trump White House, after the Supreme Court rejected the former president's attempt to block the transfer of the National Archives.
Public hearings are expected this spring and a report is due later this year.
The committee may also make formal recommendations to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

Classified?
Presidential documents recovered at Trump residence in Florida 1:45
The National Archives, tasked with collecting and classifying presidential material, says at least 15 boxes of White House records have been recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago complex, including records that may have been classified.
It has been widely reported that Trump would also tear up documents at the White House, but Maggie Haberman of The New York Times has reported that some may have been flushed down toilets.
(Trump has denied this.)

The Justice Department has not decided whether to formally launch an investigation, say sources briefed on the matter.

Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating what Trump or his allies may have done in their efforts to overturn Biden's victory in Georgia.
The investigation was launched last year after Trump's call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he pressured the Republican to "find" votes to overturn the election results.
“This is a criminal investigation.
We're not here playing a game," Willis told CNN's Sara Murray in a recent interview.
"I plan to use the power of the law. We are all citizens."
Willis, who plans to convene a grand jury in May, has also been the target of racist threats and has asked the FBI for security assistance.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly said the James investigation is politically motivated.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg inherited that office's investigation into Trump's dealings and is moving fast.

Meanwhile, another federal judge is scheduled to hold a hearing Thursday on Trump's countersuit against Carroll.

Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is suing Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and others, alleging they put him back in jail to prevent him from promoting his next book while under home confinement.
