Fact check: Which Trump cases are still active versus resolved?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, multiple Trump cases remain active as of June 2025, though the sources present varying levels of detail and some conflicting information about case counts.

Active Criminal Cases:

• New York hush money case: Trump was convicted on May 30, 2024, on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money scheme during his 2016 campaign, with sentencing scheduled for November 26, 2024 ^[1]
• Georgia election interference case: Trump and 18 others are charged with participating in a scheme to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia, with no trial date set ^[1]
• Federal election interference case: Trump is charged with conspiring to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden, though the trial is on hold while Trump pursues presidential immunity claims in higher courts ^[1]
• Classified documents case: Trump is charged with illegally retaining classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, currently on appeal after a federal judge dismissed it ^[1]

Active Civil Cases:

• New York civil fraud case: Trump was ordered to pay $454 million in penalties for falsifying business records and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and is currently appealing the verdict ^[1]

Broader Litigation Landscape:

The Lawfare tracker reports 300 active cases against the Trump administration, with 37 dismissed suits and 9 Supreme Court stays or motions to vacate lower court orders ^[2]. These include various categories such as immigration and citizenship cases, civil liberties cases, and government structure cases ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks several important contextual elements that emerge from the analyses:

• Scale of litigation: The question focuses on individual criminal cases but doesn't acknowledge the massive scope of Trump-related litigation, with one tracker showing 300 active cases across multiple legal domains ^[2]
• Administrative vs. personal cases: The analyses reveal a distinction between cases against Trump personally and cases challenging Trump administration policies and actions ^[3]
• Timeline complications: Some sources use older data from 2023, while others are more recent from 2025, creating potential discrepancies in case status reporting (p2_s2 vs p1_s1)
• Appeal processes: The question doesn't account for the complex appeal processes that keep cases technically "active" even after initial rulings, as seen with the classified documents case and civil fraud case ^[1]

Legal organizations and media outlets benefit from maintaining comprehensive tracking systems of Trump litigation, as this generates significant public interest and web traffic. Trump's legal team benefits from portraying cases as politically motivated, while prosecutors and plaintiffs benefit from demonstrating accountability regardless of political status.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself is relatively neutral and factual in nature, seeking clarification rather than making claims. However, there are some potential issues with the available information:

• Data inconsistencies: The sources show conflicting numbers, with one reporting 300 active cases ^[2] while another focuses on just a handful of major criminal cases ^[1], suggesting different methodologies or scopes of tracking
• Temporal confusion: Some analyses reference outdated information from 2023 ^[1] while others are from 2025 ^{[2] [3]}, potentially creating misleading impressions about current case status
• Definitional ambiguity: The sources don't clearly distinguish between "resolved" cases that are under appeal versus truly concluded cases, which could lead to misunderstanding about what constitutes an "active" case

The question would benefit from specifying whether it seeks information about personal criminal/civil cases against Trump or the broader universe of Trump administration-related litigation, as these represent significantly different scopes of legal activity.
