I read something (dont know if its true or not) that said that 97% of federal cases end in a conviction and that part of the reason for that is because a federal judge will only sign off on the indictment if there is a really good amount of evidence of a crime.

In a general sense, only 2% go to trial. About 90 to 95% plead Guilty and remainder have the charges drop (can't find a hard source on this). Of those that go to trial, I don't know. Generally speaking, most cop a plea and call it good.
 
Here are the crimes (general allegations lol) that are listed on the 44 page unsealed indictment document for those who care:

The indictment lists 37 counts in all against Trump:

31 counts of willful retention of classified documents
1 count of conspiracy to obstruct justice
1 count of withholding a document or record
1 count of corruptly concealing a document or record
1 count of concealing a document in a federal investigation
1 count of scheme to conceal
and one count of making false statements and representations
