Former presidents Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush did not appear in ABC's widespread search of federal and state criminal cases.
"The 36 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt," according to the report.
A few cases did include instances of violence or threats where Trump was invoked in order to target his supporters in Congress. ABC News' analysis only included direct, avowed connections to the president and his words—more elusive ties to violent and hate-inspired attacks were excluded.
