He hasn't yet, he's still got a ton of trials upcoming. He recently had to pay $83 million in a defamation lawsuit. He's still awaiting trial for several more serious indictments. These trials are taking forever because A) It's complicated document crimes B) it's unprecedented to put a former president under this much legal squeeze and C) The court systems bow to money by dragging stuff out as long as possible until no one cares anymore.
He's indicted for something like 90 felony counts, mostly related to Byzantine laws about how to handle documents or how to talk on the phone. I honestly don't understand most of it. But the trials haven't started yet. Who knows what judges will say in the next few months
