Fact check: What are the current felony charges against Donald Trump?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree ^{[1] [2]}. However, the current status of these charges shows that Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 ^[1], which means he received no jail time, probation, or fines despite the felony convictions.

Regarding other criminal cases, special counsel Jack Smith dropped both the federal election interference case and the classified documents case against Trump ^[1]. The classified documents case originally involved 37 felony counts related to mishandling of classified documents, obstructing justice, and making false statements ^[3], but these charges are no longer active.

Multiple indictments were filed against Trump, including cases in New York, Florida, Washington D.C., and Georgia ^{[4] [5]}. The Georgia election interference case, which includes racketeering charges to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election ^[4], appears to still be ongoing based on the available information.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important temporal context about the significant developments that occurred between Trump's initial indictments and January 2025. The analyses reveal that Trump has been actively battling to move his criminal case from state to federal court ^[6], suggesting ongoing legal maneuvering despite his conviction.

A crucial missing element is the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity and its potential impact on Trump's case ^[6], which likely influenced the resolution of several cases. The timing of these case dismissals and the unconditional discharge sentence coinciding with Trump's return to the presidency represents a significant political and legal development that benefits Trump's position.

Legal experts, Trump's defense team, and political allies would benefit from emphasizing the unconditional discharge as vindication, while prosecutors, political opponents, and accountability advocates would benefit from highlighting that the felony convictions remain on record despite the lack of punishment.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself is not biased but could lead to misleading interpretations if answered without proper context. Simply stating "34 felony charges" without explaining the unconditional discharge outcome ^[1] could create the false impression that Trump faces active criminal penalties.

The question's framing as "current felony charges" is technically accurate since the convictions remain on Trump's record, but it obscures the practical reality that most other cases have been dropped ^[1] and the New York case resulted in no actual punishment. This timing - with cases being dropped and minimal sentencing occurring around Trump's return to office - represents a significant shift in the legal landscape that the original question doesn't capture.
