What sentences has Donald Trump received for each criminal conviction as of November 2025?
Executive summary
As of late November 2025, available reporting shows Donald Trump was convicted in New York in May 2024 on 34 counts of first‑degree falsifying business records and was later sentenced to an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 (no jail time or fine imposed) [1] [2]. Other high‑profile criminal matters — the federal cases handled by Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Georgia election indictment — were dropped or paused at various points through 2025, with the Georgia indictment reported dropped by a new prosecutor on November 26, 2025 [3] [1].
1. The New York “hush‑money” conviction and sentence — a unique judgment, not a prison term
A Manhattan jury convicted Trump on May 30, 2024 of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to payments to Stormy Daniels; Judge Juan Merchan later imposed an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025, meaning the court entered a judgment of guilt but ordered no jail time or fine as punishment [2] [4]. Multiple outlets describe that sentencing outcome as leaving a conviction on the record without traditional penal consequences; the judge said he did not plan to send Trump to prison [4] [3].
2. Appeals and constitutional arguments that kept the New York case alive
Trump appealed the New York conviction and sought to have evidence excluded under the Supreme Court’s 2024 presidential‑immunity decision; his legal team argued the trial improperly admitted evidence of official acts and sought overturning of the verdict [5]. Courts continued to review those claims — Reuters reported appellate questions about whether federal immunity issues should be revisited in the New York context — and the conviction remained subject to ongoing appellate litigation in 2025 [6] [5].
3. The two federal cases handled by Special Counsel Jack Smith — dismissed after the 2024 election
Reporting indicates Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped both his election‑subversion and classified‑documents prosecutions after Trump’s reelection; CNN and other outlets said Smith announced he was dropping those cases in late November 2024 [3]. Reuters and Lawfare summarize that the federal matters were dismissed or could not proceed while Trump was president, and Smith later ended active prosecutions [4] [2]. Available sources do not list any sentence imposed on Trump from those federal matters because they were dropped [3] [4].
4. The Georgia election indictment — paused, then reportedly dropped in November 2025
The Fulton County/Georgia prosecution was paused in 2024 while courts considered disqualification of prosecutor Fani Willis; appeals and procedural rulings followed through 2025 [1]. Wikipedia and other reporting state that on November 26, 2025, the new prosecutor Pete Skandalakis announced he dropped all charges in the Georgia case after being unable to find another willing prosecutor to take it forward [1]. Available sources do not detail a sentencing outcome for Trump in Georgia because charges were dropped [1].
5. What “sentences” exist across Trump’s convictions as of Nov. 2025 — a concise tally
- New York (Manhattan): Convicted on 34 counts (May 30, 2024); sentenced to an unconditional discharge (January 10, 2025) — no jail term or fine imposed at sentencing [2] [4].
- Federal cases (D.C. and classified documents): Prosecuted by Special Counsel Jack Smith but dropped in late 2024 — no sentence imposed [3] [4].
- Georgia election case: Paused and then reportedly dropped by the new prosecutor on Nov. 26, 2025 — no sentence imposed [1].
6. Caveats, competing narratives and what the sources emphasize
Sources emphasize two competing facts: a unique outcome in New York — a conviction on the record with an unconditional discharge — and procedural dispositions in other cases that left no sentences [2] [3] [1]. Some outlets and Trump’s legal team argue appellate and immunity issues undermine the New York verdict and are seeking reversal [5]. Other reporting frames the January 2025 discharge as a deliberate judicial choice to avoid penal consequences during a presidential transition [6] [4]. Those are conflicting framings found across Reuters, CNN, Lawfare and related reporting [6] [3] [2] [4].
Limitations: this summary uses only the provided sources; if you want document‑level details (e.g., full appellate briefs, exact court orders), those are not included in the current reporting set and are therefore not discussed here. Available sources do not mention any additional criminal convictions or sentences for Trump beyond what is listed above [1] [2] [4].
