What convictions, acquittals, plea deals, or ongoing appeals exist in Trump’s cases as of December 2025?
Executive summary
As of December 8, 2025, the last major state criminal case against Donald Trump — the Fulton County, Georgia election-interference indictment — was dismissed in late November 2025, leaving no unresolved criminal prosecutions reported in the supplied sources; that dismissal followed earlier partial tossings in September 2024 and the disqualification of the Fulton prosecutor in December 2024 [1]. Multiple high‑profile legal fights involving President Trump remain active at the U.S. Supreme Court and in federal litigation over administration actions, but the supplied reporting does not list other convictions, pleas or active criminal appeals involving Trump as of these dates [2] [3].
1. Final Georgia indictment dismissed — what happened and why
A Fulton County Superior Court judge, Scott McAfee, ordered the Georgia election‑interference racketeering case against Trump “dismissed in its entirety” on November 26, 2025, closing what CNBC describes as the last criminal case that had remained unresolved after Trump’s 2024 comeback to the White House; the prosecution’s lead state lawyer, Peter Skandalakis, moved to drop the remaining charges “to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality” [1]. That dismissal capped a fraught procedural history: two counts were tossed in September 2024 and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified in December 2024 amid scrutiny over her romantic relationship with a top prosecutor — facts spelled out in the CNBC account [1].
2. No convictions or plea deals reported in the supplied coverage
The set of sources you provided — including CNBC’s detailed report and live‑coverage outlets — do not report any criminal convictions or plea agreements for Donald Trump as of early December 2025. CNBC’s summary explicitly frames the Georgia ruling as bringing to a close the “final case against Trump that remained unresolved” [1]. Available sources do not mention any convictions, guilty pleas, or plea bargains for Trump in criminal matters within the provided reporting.
3. Ongoing federal and Supreme Court litigation: policy fights, not criminal verdicts
Multiple major legal disputes involving the president and his administration were active before the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2025 — for example, cases about Trump’s authority to remove independent agency officials and questions about tariffs and birthright‑citizenship rules — but these are constitutional and administrative law battles rather than criminal prosecutions [2] [4]. SCOTUS schedules and Reuters reporting show the court taking up several high‑profile matters tied to presidential power that remain unresolved as of December 2025 [4] [2].
4. Reporting shows institutional and political context that affected criminal cases
CNBC’s narrative makes clear political and institutional factors shaped the fate of the Georgia indictment: the prosecutor’s disqualification and intense scrutiny over prosecutorial conduct were central to the case’s unraveling, and the state prosecutor’s motion to dismiss framed the decision as advancing “judicial finality” [1]. This demonstrates how prosecutorial ethics questions and courtroom rulings can be decisive even in politically charged investigations [1].
5. What the supplied sources do not cover or confirm
The documents you provided do not enumerate any ongoing criminal appeals by Trump arising from convictions, nor do they report plea deals or convictions in other jurisdictions; when a claim is not present in the material you supplied, I state that explicitly: available sources do not mention convictions, plea deals, or active criminal appeals for Trump beyond the Georgia developments [1]. The sources also do not provide a comprehensive nationwide docket of every legal proceeding involving Trump; they focus on major cases and Supreme Court matters [2] [4].
6. Competing interpretations in the reporting
CNBC frames the Georgia dismissal as a legal endpoint and highlights prosecutorial problems and voluntary dismissal by state prosecutors [1]. Other outlets in your selection emphasize that the president remained entangled in numerous high‑stakes legal fights at the Supreme Court and in federal litigation — these reporters treat the legal picture as still unsettled in broader policy and civil arenas even if the principal state criminal threat described by CNBC was dismissed [2] [4] [3]. Readers should note the difference between criminal case outcomes and separate administrative or civil challenges.
Limitations: this summary relied only on the sources you supplied; if you want a full, current inventory of every criminal or civil filing, plea, conviction, or active appeal involving Trump nationwide, those items are not exhaustively listed in these sources and would require broader docket checks and reporting beyond the provided material [1] [2].
