Trump has been indicted or is about to be indicted for numerous serious crimes. Which crime is the most serious?
1) Classified documents. Trump stole extremely classified documents about war plans, nuclear secrets, and god knows what else. Then he lied about possessing them, had them moved in an attempt to hide them, tried to get his lawyers to lie about possessing them, and even showed them to people. Trump has already been indicted for this and the evidence of his guilt appears overwhelming, including his own former attorneys admitting to Trump's guilt.
2) Inciting an Insurrection. Trump lied to the world and his supporters and told everybody the election was stolen when it wasn't. Then on Jan 6th he incited an Insurrection at the Capitol based on these lies and his followers beat cops, broke into the Capitol, and beat more cops again. Trump was impeached for this.
3) Attempting to steal the election. Trump is about to be indicted for trying to steal the election for himself. Trump used a series of lies, pressured election officials (caught on tape), and created fake electorates to try and actually steal the 2020 election, after he clearly lost the election.
I think inciting the Insurrection at the Capitol is the most serious of Trump's crimes, but they are all so serious so it is hard to say.
