I'd be willing to argue the flip side: had he not been under several investigations, he would not be running in the 2024 election.
Edited for grammar.

'He's seen Bigfoot': Ex-wife of former Trump Tower doorman who claimed Trump has love child says he's a liar
Former Trump Tower doorman Dino Sajudin, who claims President Donald Trump had an extramarital affair that produced a child, is a liar according to his ex-wife.www.businessinsider.com
New Details About The Report That Donald Trump Had A Secret Love Child With A Former Trump Organization Housekeeper
Dino Sajudin was reportedly paid $30,000 by The National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc. after he made claims that Trump father a secret child. Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen denied knowing anything about the payment and called the love child rumor "baseless." He did...

Something I hadn't realised until recently ..... of the checks that were given to Cohen as repayment of the hush money, the ones that are from the Donald J Trump - Revocable Trust account were signed by Mr. Weisselberg and Donald Trump Jr. The ones from the Donald J Trump account were signed by DT himself.
In the Middle of His Official Business, Trump Took the Time to Send Checks to Michael Cohen (Published 2019)
The dates on newly available checks shed light on the parallel lives Mr. Trump was living — at once managing affairs of state while quietly paying the price of keeping his personal secrets.
ETA: While reading the Statement of Facts, I now see that this is mentioned in that document.

I agree. Trump has known for years about the NY investigation because of Cohen's prosecution.

"we will be reporting our spin on his speech because we don't trust our viewers to have the ability to understand it." Personally I want to hear it myself and not some opinion from a media outlet. JMO
In other words, the world is watching and we don't like what we see.

Case in point:
An article from last summer:
"The notion has been picking up steam for weeks in the political press, with a New York Times story reporting a couple weeks ago that Republicans were “bracing for Donald J. Trump to announce an unusually early bid for the White House, a move designed in part to shield the former president from a stream of damaging revelations emerging from investigations into his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.”
Opinion | How Announcing His 2024 Campaign Could Be Trump’s Best Legal Defense
The former president can throw a major wrench in the pending and potential criminal investigations that might implicate him.

Listening to DT right now on a televised "Emergency Prayer" conference call.
"We are losing religion in this country"
"Keep up the fight everyone"
"I want everyone to pray right now, because we need to win this 2024 election"
Source: Ch7 morning TV news in Australia
TV commenter said this was a call that people had to pay to listen to, and that thousands of people listened to the call.
That he needs his evangelical (voting) base to get behind him right now.

I'd also say that he's been spared from multiple legitimate prosecutions for years because of the privileges of his former office, which has caused prosecutors to give him an undue deference not afforded to other potential defendants.
I think now that his greed and financial crimes have been exposed, there is no way he can win 2024.

One of our major MSM publications is calling it "a bizarre emergency prayer call".
He made the call while on his private jet. It is apparently an online conference call where a person pays to connect to it.

There were so many shell companies established to hide the details that it makes me dizzy.

The heck is wrong with people these days?From that article:
“This is my new favorite flag,” says Dion Cini, who is holding a flag that says “Trump or Death” outside Trump Tower on Monday morning. “It doesn’t necessarily mean my death; it could mean your death.”

While we do not routinely approve opinion articles, the above is by an attorney who is a former federal prosecutor, so it is being approved.Case in point:
An article from last summer:
"The notion has been picking up steam for weeks in the political press, with a New York Times story reporting a couple weeks ago that Republicans were “bracing for Donald J. Trump to announce an unusually early bid for the White House, a move designed in part to shield the former president from a stream of damaging revelations emerging from investigations into his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.”

Mar-a-Lago crowd awaits Trump
Barbara Plett UsherReporting from Palm Beach, Florida
The ballroom is buzzing with Trump supporters waiting for him to arrive.
They just chanted a welcome to Kari Lake - the former candidate for Arizona governor who’s been called the female Trump and said to be a possible running mate.
Among those present are members of Mar-a-Lago and their guests, campaign workers, the group Bikers for Trump, and conservative podcasters.
[...]
All say they’re certain the indictment is a travesty of justice aimed at sinking Trump politically.
They are equally certain it will only boost his political fortunes.
