Previous times trump ran afoul of laws, they were mostly civil cases involving his bankruptcies and his fights with contractors who went after him for reneging on payments. In every one, he used the legal tactics of DELAY DENY and DISTRACT to force others to just give up on their cases and take whatever out-of-court settlement they could get, which would get him off the hook for accountability and allow him to repeat his scams.

trump honestly HAS been losing in court, he just hides it behind settlement after settlement after settlement.
