What charges are included in each criminal case against Donald Trump as of November 2025?
Executive summary
As of November 2025, Donald Trump faced four separate criminal prosecutions filed in 2023 across New York state, Fulton County (Georgia), the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; the filed charges ranged from 34 state counts of falsifying business records in New York to election-interference and classified-documents allegations in Georgia, D.C., and Florida [1] [2] [3] [4]. By late 2025 those cases had moved in different directions: the New York case produced 34 convictions followed by an unconditional discharge, the two federal prosecutions were dismissed or paused after Trump’s election, and the Georgia indictment was ultimately dropped by a successor prosecutor [1] [3] [2] [5].
1. New York (Manhattan) — 34 counts: falsifying business records and the hush‑money prosecution
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree tied to alleged hush‑money payments made before the 2016 election; the trial ran in April–May 2024 and resulted in convictions on all 34 counts, and on January 10, 2025 a judge imposed an unconditional discharge (conviction recorded but no jail time, fines, or probation) [1] [4] [3]. Reporting and legal summaries repeatedly identify those 34 state felony counts as the core of the New York prosecution [1] [4].
2. Washington, D.C. (federal) — counts tied to January 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 result
A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment in August 2023 that charged Trump with four criminal counts related to his efforts to subvert the 2020 election certification, described in reporting as conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding; Special Counsel Jack Smith later moved to dismiss the case “without prejudice” after Trump won the presidency, and federal judges and the Justice Department took steps reflecting the long-standing policy that a sitting president not be criminally prosecuted [1] [2] [6]. Sources note that the case was dismissed or paused after Trump’s 2024 election, and that Smith sought dismissal on Nov. 25, 2024 [2] [1].
3. Southern District of Florida (federal) — classified documents and related obstruction counts
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida indicted Trump and associates in June and later in July 2023 in a case arising from Trump’s retention of White House records at Mar‑a‑Lago; reporting groups including Lawfare and FRONTLINE place that prosecution in the SDFL and describe superseding indictments and multiple defendants though the precise list of counts and their legal labels are catalogued primarily in court filings not reproduced here [3] [4]. Reporting confirms the case charged national‑security‑related offenses tied to willful retention of classified materials and obstruction-related counts but the provided sources do not reproduce the full statutory list in this excerpt [3] [4].
4. Fulton County, Georgia — a multi‑count state indictment for election interference
Fulton County prosecutors originally indicted Trump in August 2023 on 13 criminal counts alleging a scheme to interfere with Georgia’s 2020 election results; subsequent litigation produced dismissals for specificity and Supremacy Clause issues and, after disqualification of the district attorney and turnover to a new prosecutor, the state’s charges were dropped on November 26, 2025 when the successor declined to proceed [2] [1] [5]. Ballotpedia and contemporaneous reporting trace a path from 13 charged counts through judicial trimming and final dismissal under a new prosecutor [2] [1].
Context, disputes and reporting limits
Sources differ in emphasis and outcome details: Ballotpedia and Lawfare focus on charge counts and courtroom outcomes; Wikipedia collates timelines including dismissals and disqualifications; major outlets like Reuters and AP record dismissals or pauses after Trump returned to office [2] [3] [1] [6] [7]. Where reporting here references legal labels (for example the D.C. case’s counts of “conspiring to defraud the government” and “corruptly obstructing an official proceeding”), those descriptions come from public indictments summarized by the cited sources [1]. The precise statutory language and full itemization of every count in every superseding indictment are matters of court records not fully reproduced in the supplied excerpts, and this summary avoids asserting details not present in the provided reporting [3] [4].
