  • "Trump's Legal Saga: From Conviction to Dismissals in the Post-2024 Era"
    Nov 13 2025
    Donald Trump, the former and current U.S. president, has faced a series of high-profile criminal trials stemming from his actions before, during, and after his first term. Lawfare reports that Trump’s legal saga comprised four major indictments, although only one led to conviction. The others were dismissed after his return to the White House in 2024.

    The first trial to reach a verdict was the New York case, where Trump faced 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. According to Lawfare, this trial began in April 2024 and resulted in Trump’s conviction on all counts at the end of May 2024. The case centered on payments made to suppress stories that might have damaged his 2016 presidential campaign. On January 10, 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge, meaning there was no jail time or probation, despite the felony convictions.

    The second major case was brought in the Southern District of Florida, where Trump was charged with willfully retaining national defense information and obstructing justice, stemming from his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House. Lawfare details that this indictment included 32 counts related to national defense materials and several additional counts of obstruction. Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed this federal case in July 2024, ruling that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was improper. The Department of Justice ended its appeal later that year, and the charges were dropped.

    As for the case in Washington, D.C., Trump was indicted in August 2023 on charges of conspiracy against rights and other alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election results. The trial was delayed due to the Supreme Court considering Trump’s immunity claims. Lawfare notes that after the case was returned to the district court, Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the matter in December 2024, effectively closing the federal proceedings.

    In Fulton County, Georgia, Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted for violating the state’s RICO Act and soliciting officials to overturn the 2020 election results. Several of Trump’s co-defendants pleaded guilty. Lawfare notes that as of November 2025, no trial date had been set for Trump, and the appellate court ordered District Attorney Fani Willis’s disqualification from the case. The status of the prosecution remains uncertain.

    The Brennan Center for Justice summarizes that, as of late 2025, the New York felony conviction was the only one to result in sentencing, while the other federal trials were dismissed after Trump’s 2024 re-election. Additionally, Just Security has tracked ongoing civil litigation and legal challenges involving Trump and his administration, but these proceedings are largely separate from the criminal cases.

  • "Navigating the Legal Maze: Trump's Criminal Trials and the Presidency"
    Nov 11 2025
    Donald Trump has faced multiple criminal trials across four jurisdictions since 2023, though the landscape has shifted dramatically following his election victory in November 2024. In New York, Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. His trial began in April 2024, and after a six-week proceeding, a Manhattan jury found him guilty on all 34 counts in May 2024. On January 10, 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning he avoided prison time, probation, or fines despite the convictions.

    The federal cases have largely dissolved. In Florida, Trump faced 40 charges related to the mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice. Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed this case in July 2024, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. The Justice Department initially appealed but ultimately abandoned the case following Trump's election victory, citing long-standing policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Similarly, the Washington D.C. case, which involved four charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election and alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot, was dismissed without prejudice in November 2024 by Judge Tanya Chutkan after the Supreme Court ruled Trump had immunity for official acts performed as president.

    The Georgia case remains the most uncertain. Trump faced eight criminal charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. However, the case has been paused since June 2024. In December 2024, Georgia's Court of Appeals disqualified prosecutor Fani Willis from the case, creating significant complications. With Trump now serving as president, fundamental questions loom about whether a state-level prosecutor can prosecute a sitting president and whether a state judge will hear the case. The outcome remains unclear and is described as to be announced.

    Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges across all jurisdictions. Legal experts note that neither the indictments nor any convictions would have disqualified him from the 2024 presidential race, and the Supreme Court reversed state-level efforts to remove him from ballots. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal prosecutions, resigned before Trump's inauguration, as Trump had threatened to fire him upon taking office.

    The trials underscore the unprecedented legal challenges facing a former president and the complexities arising when criminal proceedings intersect with a presidential election and subsequent inauguration. While the New York conviction stands, the federal cases have effectively ended, and the Georgia case remains in legal limbo.

  • "Convicted & Acquitted: Trump's Legal Battles Unpacked - A Defining Moment in US History"
    Nov 6 2025
    Listeners, former President Donald Trump has been facing a series of high-profile court trials and legal challenges over the past several years. According to Lawfare, Trump's most significant criminal trial was in New York, where he was indicted in March 2023 on thirty-four counts of falsifying business records. This case stems from allegations that he attempted to hide hush money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign. After a trial that began in April 2024, Trump was convicted on all counts in May 2024. The conviction marked the first time a former U.S. president had been found guilty in a criminal case. In January 2025, Justice Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning no prison time, but the felony conviction stands.

    There were two major federal cases as well. In the Southern District of Florida, Trump was charged in June 2023 with retaining classified national defense documents, obstructing justice, and making false statements. Waltine Nauta, one of Trump's aides, and Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager, were also charged. However, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed this indictment in July 2024, ruling that the Special Counsel Jack Smith who brought the charges had been improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department eventually dropped its appeal, ending the case against Trump and his co-defendants.

    Another federal case was in Washington, D.C., where Trump was indicted in August 2023 on charges related to the January 6th Capitol attack. This included obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and conspiracy against rights. The initial trial date was canceled while the Supreme Court considered whether a president could claim immunity for actions taken while in office. In December 2024, Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the government’s motion to dismiss the case after the Supreme Court remanded it, effectively closing one of the most watched cases in recent history.

    Brennan Center for Justice also points out that Trump faced prosecution in Georgia for his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election results in Fulton County. Several co-defendants in the Georgia case have pleaded guilty, but as of now, a trial date for Trump has not been set. In December 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified District Attorney Fani Willis from the prosecution, further delaying proceedings.

    In addition to criminal cases, Just Security reports a wide array of civil suits challenging Trump’s executive actions, from issues about accessibility for the deaf community to bans on gender-affirming care and environmental policy changes. Most of these civil cases are awaiting court rulings or have been temporarily blocked, indicating ongoing litigation well into 2025.

    The scope of Trump’s legal exposure has been unprecedented for a former president, featuring multiple trials, appeals, and significant constitutional questions. Despite some dismissals and delays, the New York felony conviction remains historically significant.
