    "Unprecedented Trials: Trump's Felony Convictions, Presidential Immunity Debates"
    Jul 15 2025
    Donald Trump is entangled in a range of **court trials and legal challenges** across several jurisdictions. In New York, he was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30, 2023, on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The trial, known as The People for the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, began on April 15, 2024. A Manhattan jury found him guilty of these counts on May 30, 2024. Trump was sentenced by Justice Merchan on January 10, 2025, receiving an unconditional discharge, meaning he will not face fines or imprisonment for this conviction. Ongoing appeals focus on whether the case should be moved to federal court, with Trump’s lawyers arguing that the evidence dealt with his first term as president, potentially invoking presidential immunity. The Department of Justice has filed supporting briefs, and a three-judge appellate panel is reviewing the case, which remains highly consequential since never before has a sitting or former president been convicted of a felony, raising new questions about the boundaries of presidential immunity, as detailed by OPB and Lawfare.

    Trump also faced a major federal case in Florida. On June 8, 2023, he and two associates were indicted on 32 counts related to willfully retaining national defense information, five obstruction charges, and additional counts for interfering with a federal investigation and making false statements. Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed this federal indictment on July 15, 2024, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially filed an appeal of this dismissal to the 11th Circuit, but then dismissed its own appeal by January 2025, effectively ending the federal prosecution in that district, as tracked by Lawfare and Just Security.

    In Georgia, Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted on August 14, 2023, by a Fulton County grand jury. This extensive racketeering indictment alleges an organized effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Some co-defendants continue to file appeals, and there have been many efforts to move the proceedings to federal court or to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis. Scheduling disputes, appeals, and additional motions are still working their way through the Georgia courts, as covered extensively by Just Security.

    Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team continues to pursue a variety of **appeals and removal efforts** in each major case. For example, in the New York case, various attempts were made to move the state prosecution to a federal venue, but these efforts have so far been unsuccessful. Final appeals and appellate arguments are pending in both the New York criminal and civil cases, as well as in the Georgia case, and the legal calendar for Trump remains crowded with those ongoing proceedings, summarized by Just Security’s master calendar.

    These historic trials not only mark the first criminal conviction of a U.S. president but also probe unsettled legal ground regarding the limits of presidential immunity and the role of federal versus state courts in prosecuting a former president for acts before and during their time in office.

  • "The Unprecedented Trials of President Trump: Navigating Legal Landmines in the Highest Office"

    "The Unprecedented Trials of President Trump: Navigating Legal Landmines in the Highest Office"
    Jul 10 2025
    Donald Trump, now serving his second term as president, has faced a series of historic and highly publicized court trials over the past several years. The most notable was his conviction in New York State Supreme Court on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 presidential campaign, which prosecutors argued were meant to influence the election and then covered up through fraudulent business entries. After a month-long trial, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty in May 2024, and Justice Juan Merchan sentenced him in January 2025 to an unconditional discharge—a unique outcome reflecting his status as president. Trump did not face fines or jail, but the conviction remains on his record. At his sentencing, Trump maintained his innocence and declared his intent to appeal.

    Trump’s legal team has pressed hard to overturn the conviction, arguing that the case should have been heard in federal court. They claimed the charges related to actions while he was a federal official, invoking the Federal Officer Removal Statute. However, as reported by WGBH and OPB, legal experts believe this strategy is unlikely to succeed. Arguments before a federal appeals court in Manhattan centered on whether testimony from Trump’s former officials made the case federal in nature, but the prosecution maintained that the alleged crimes occurred when Trump was a candidate, not yet an officeholder. The U.S. Department of Justice itself filed a brief supporting Trump’s bid, underscoring how legally unprecedented the situation remains.

    Another significant legal battle unfolded in federal court in Florida. There, Trump was indicted on charges related to the retention of classified government documents at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office. The indictment, unveiled in June 2023, accused him of unlawfully keeping national defense information, obstructing justice, and making false statements. The case included multiple co-defendants. In July 2024, however, federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the indictment, finding that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. While the government appealed, the Justice Department ultimately withdrew its appeal later that year, effectively ending the prosecution in that venue.

    Trump also faced a sweeping indictment in Georgia, where he and numerous co-defendants were charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. Legal wrangling over jurisdiction and the roles of prosecutors continues, with multiple appeals and efforts to move the case to federal court, but no criminal convictions have resulted from these state charges as of summer 2025.

    Amid these criminal cases, Trump’s legal calendar has also contained numerous civil lawsuits and appeals, including battles over alleged business fraud in New York and constitutional challenges to his presidential policies. His push for presidential immunity reached the Supreme Court, which in 2025 handed down a decision granting former presidents at least presumptive immunity for official acts, further shaping the legal landscape in which these cases play out.

    These developments mark an unprecedented period in American legal and political history. Observers and legal scholars continue to debate the implications for presidential accountability and the balance between state and federal judicial authority.

  • "Uncharted Legal Terrain: Trump's Post-Presidency Courtroom Battles"

    "Uncharted Legal Terrain: Trump's Post-Presidency Courtroom Battles"
    Jul 8 2025
    Donald Trump continues to be at the center of a sweeping array of court trials and legal appeals that have defined his post-presidential years and ongoing political career. The criminal cases against Trump reached a watershed moment when he was convicted in New York State Supreme Court on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. The case centered on a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her silent about an alleged affair during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Sentencing took place just ten days before Trump was sworn in for his second term. Rather than jail time or fines, the judge issued an unconditional discharge—a sentence that imposes no penalties but leaves the felony conviction on Trump’s record. Trump was adamant in a video statement at his sentencing that he was treated unfairly and has maintained his innocence, insisting he will continue to appeal the decision, as covered by NPR.

    This New York hush money conviction is currently subject to multiple appeals. Trump’s legal strategy has focused on attempting to move the case from state to federal court, arguing that the evidence and testimony involved official acts during his first term. According to OPB, his team cites a law allowing federal officials to transfer cases if the alleged misconduct occurred as part of official duties—though the District Attorney argues the crimes themselves happened while Trump was a candidate, not in office. A three-judge appeals panel recently heard arguments, grappling with the unprecedented situation of a former president convicted of a felony.

    These appeals are unfolding alongside a broader legal calendar. Just Security and Lawfare report that Trump is also appealing decisions in his New York civil fraud case and contesting the handling of federal classified documents in Florida. In the classified documents case, a district judge in Florida dismissed the indictment on what Trump’s lawyers argued were grounds of improper appointment and funding of the special counsel. The government is appealing this dismissal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

    Trump’s legal prospects have been significantly reshaped by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent rulings. SCOTUSblog notes that the Supreme Court held that former presidents have at least presumptive immunity for official acts, not private conduct, which could play a role in how Trump’s cases are handled going forward. The court’s decisions on the scope of presidential immunity and federal court authority have been seen as major victories for Trump, especially as legal questions about presidential powers and immunity remain unsettled.

    Legal experts cite the extraordinary nature of these cases: never before has a U.S. president or former president faced such criminal liability, nor have the courts confronted the boundaries of presidential powers and immunities in this way. As courtrooms across the country continue to weigh Trump’s appeals and the future of these cases, the outcomes will likely set important legal precedents.
