    "From the Oval to the Courtroom: Trump's Unprecedented Felony Conviction"
    Oct 14 2025
    Donald Trump has faced a series of unprecedented court trials, making him the first U.S. president ever convicted of a felony. In the most high-profile case, a Manhattan grand jury indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. This was related to hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign. According to Wikipedia, Trump’s defense argued these were routine business transactions and questioned the credibility of witness Michael Cohen, while prosecutors claimed the effort was aimed at unlawfully influencing the election. Jury selection began in April 2024, and Trump was required to attend all days of the trial except with special court approval. The proceedings were not televised, but intense media coverage surrounded every development. On May 30, 2024, the jury found Trump guilty on all counts, and Justice Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge in January 2025. Trump immediately appealed his conviction.

    While this New York prosecution attracted global attention, Trump also confronted federal charges in two major venues. Lawfare reports that in the Southern District of Florida, a federal grand jury charged Trump and two associates with illegally retaining national defense information, obstruction of justice, and making false statements. However, in July 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the indictment, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed. The government dropped appeals, effectively ending the federal case.

    Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., Trump was indicted for obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and conspiracy against rights, all stemming from his actions around January 6th, 2021. According to Lawfare, Trump’s trial was delayed while the Supreme Court reviewed his immunity claims. In August 2024, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the district court, and ultimately, in December 2024, Judge Chutkan granted the government’s request to dismiss the case after Trump’s 2024 election victory.

    Many legal experts and outlets like Lawfare and Wikipedia noted that Trump’s legal team repeatedly sought delays based on arguments including pretrial publicity, claims of political bias, and the question of presidential immunity. Despite these maneuvers, sentencing in the New York case was first scheduled for July 2024, then postponed multiple times due to ongoing appeals and presidential immunity claims. It was finally held just before his second inauguration in January 2025.

    As of now, Donald Trump remains the only sitting or former U.S. president convicted of a felony, although the most serious federal cases against him were dismissed following his 2024 reelection. Further legal disputes about presidential immunity might still shape the broader legal landscape, but for Trump himself, the New York conviction stands as the main resolved criminal case.

  • "The Unprecedented Legal Saga of Trump: From Felony Conviction to Immunity as President"

    "The Unprecedented Legal Saga of Trump: From Felony Conviction to Immunity as President"
    Oct 9 2025
    Donald Trump has faced several high-profile court trials since leaving the White House. According to Lawfare, the first and only criminal conviction came in New York, where Donald Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charges centered on his alleged role in a hush-money scheme involving payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. The trial began on April 15, 2024, and on May 30, 2024, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all counts. On January 10, 2025, Justice Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge, meaning there is no jail time or probation but the felony conviction remains on his record.

    Beyond New York, Trump also faced serious federal charges in two other venues. In the Southern District of Florida, a federal grand jury indicted him for retaining national defense information at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office. The indictment included 32 counts of willfully retaining classified documents, 5 counts of obstruction of justice, 1 count of interfering with a federal investigation, and 4 counts of making false statements. However, on July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges, holding that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and lacked authority to bring the case. The Justice Department appealed, but eventually dismissed their appeal against Trump in late 2024, effectively ending the case.

    A third major case was brought in the District of Columbia, connected to Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. The charges here included corruptly obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and conspiracy against rights. The initial trial date was set for March 2024, but it was delayed while the Supreme Court took up Trump’s immunity claims. According to Lawfare, in August 2024 the Supreme Court returned the case to the district court and, by December 2024, Judge Chutkan granted the government’s unopposed motion to dismiss, ending the prosecution.

    There were also state charges in Fulton County, Georgia, related to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election certification, but these proceedings were overshadowed or delayed as Trump reclaimed the presidency following the 2024 election.

    Legal experts at Lawfare and other outlets observe that after winning the 2024 presidential election, Trump saw his two major federal cases dismissed, leaving only his New York felony conviction in place. Additionally, as president, he regained some legal immunities, and federal prosecutions against sitting presidents are not permitted under Justice Department guidelines.

    Listeners following this unprecedented legal saga have witnessed complex constitutional questions about presidential immunity and the separation of powers come to the forefront. Trump’s prosecutions have set historic milestones, including the first conviction of a former or sitting president in the United States.

  • "The Trials of Trump: From Indictments to Election Victory and the Lasting Impact on the Legal Landscape"

    "The Trials of Trump: From Indictments to Election Victory and the Lasting Impact on the Legal Landscape"
    Oct 7 2025
    Listeners, Donald Trump has faced multiple criminal court trials since leaving office, with several historic developments shaping the legal landscape for the former president. Lawfare reports that Trump was indicted in four major jurisdictions: New York, Florida, Washington D.C., and Georgia. However, after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, only the New York case led to a conviction and sentence, while the other federal cases were dismissed.

    The most prominent trial occurred in New York. On March 30, 2023, Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The charges, brought under New York Penal Law, stemmed from allegations that Trump orchestrated a scheme to hide hush money payments and cover up potentially damaging information during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump’s trial started on April 15, 2024, and, following deliberations, a Manhattan jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts on May 30, 2024. Justice Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025, meaning no jail time or probation, but the conviction remained on record, marking Trump as the first American president convicted of a felony according to coverage by Lawfare.

    In Florida, Trump was indicted on June 8, 2023, along with two aides, relating to his handling of classified documents after leaving office. The indictment included 32 counts of willful retention of national defense information, five counts of obstruction of justice, and additional counts of interfering in a federal investigation and making false statements. Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case on July 15, 2024, citing improper appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Justice Department dismissed their appeal against Trump later that year, as reported by Lawfare.

    Washington D.C. hosted another significant federal case. Trump was charged with obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct, defraud the United States, and conspiracy against rights, all stemming from the events surrounding January 6, 2021. Originally set for trial on March 4, 2024, the case was delayed while the Supreme Court evaluated Trump’s immunity claims. Ultimately, Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the government’s motion to dismiss the case on December 6, 2024, as Lawfare details.

    There were also ongoing legal actions in Fulton County, Georgia, but following Trump's presidential win in 2024, these proceedings were overshadowed by the federal dismissals and the landmark New York conviction.

    Listeners, while Donald Trump has been repeatedly prosecuted in several courts, only the New York case led to a criminal conviction with no further punishment ordered. All federal charges were dismissed after complex appeals and judicial rulings following his election, according to Lawfare’s summaries.
