Executive summary

Donald Trump has been convicted in one state criminal trial: a Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in May 2024, and a judge later issued an unconditional discharge at sentencing in January 2025 (conviction: 34 counts; sentence: unconditional discharge) [1] [2]. Federal criminal prosecutions by Special Counsel Jack Smith — the classified-documents case and the 2020-election-subversion case — were wound down or dismissed after his 2024 election victory; state-level cases in Georgia and other jurisdictions have had charges paused, subject to appeals and prosecutorial developments reported in the record [3] [4] [5].

1. The one conviction: 34 counts of falsifying business records (New York hush‑money case)

In New York, prosecutors charged Trump in 2023 with falsifying business records tied to payments to Stormy Daniels; a Manhattan jury convicted him on all 34 felony counts on May 30, 2024 [1] [6]. Those counts were described repeatedly in contemporaneous reporting and tracking pieces as 34 first‑degree falsifying business‑records counts connected to concealment of a hush‑money payment [7] [8]. Judge Juan Merchan later denied motions to vacate the verdict and set a sentencing hearing, which ultimately resulted in an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 — meaning no fines, jail time, or probation despite the conviction [9] [2].

2. Sentence and legal status: convicted but not punished — what the record says

Although the jury verdict created a felony conviction on the record, reporting and court documents show Merchan granted an “unconditional discharge” at sentencing on January 10, 2025; that preserves the conviction but imposes no criminal penalties [2] [9]. Appeals and immunity arguments were filed afterward: Trump’s team appealed and sought to move or overturn the conviction in light of later Supreme Court guidance about presidential immunity, and federal appellate panels have entertained questions about whether parts of the state trial relied on “official acts” evidence — potentially a path to overturning or moving the case [10] [11].

3. Federal cases: dismissed or wound down after the 2024 election

Two major federal criminal matters handled by Special Counsel Jack Smith — the classified‑documents indictment and the federal 2020‑election subversion prosecution — were effectively ended after Trump’s 2024 electoral victory. Smith asked courts to drop those prosecutions against the incoming president, and appeals were abandoned or dismissed in late 2024 and early 2025, meaning Trump no longer faced those federal felony prosecutions as reported [3] [4]. Media coverage frames this as driven by Department of Justice policy and the practical reality of a sitting president’s immunity from prosecution under certain circumstances [3].

4. Georgia and other state matters: paused, litigated, or under appeal

State‑level matters beyond Manhattan — notably the Georgia case concerning alleged election subversion — remained active in the record but were subject to litigation over prosecutorial conflicts, disqualifications, and appeals; those matters were not uniformly dismissed and continued to produce court rulings and appeals [12] [13]. Reporting notes motions, disqualification rulings, and stays that complicate any simple tally of dismissed vs. pending counts [12].

5. Impeachments, acquittals, and non‑criminal proceedings (constitutional context)

Separately from criminal charges, Trump was impeached twice by the House and acquitted by the Senate both times — for abuse of power/obstruction (first impeachment) and for incitement of the January 6 attack (second impeachment) — with the Senate voting to acquit in both trials [14] [15]. Those are political-constitutional proceedings, not criminal convictions; reporting underscores the difference between impeachment acquittal and criminal acquittal or dismissal [16].

6. What the available sources do not say or remain uncertain about

Available sources do not mention any other criminal convictions of Trump beyond the 34 New York counts [1] [2]. Sources report federal indictments that were later dropped or dismissed, and state cases that were paused or appealed, but they do not provide a single, final nationwide ledger declaring every count across jurisdictions permanently dismissed or acquitted [3] [4] [11]. The long‑term legal status of the New York conviction is also contested through appeals and motions invoking presidential‑immunity principles [10] [11].

Final note: reporting across outlets agrees that the only felony conviction on the record in these materials is the 34‑count New York falsifying‑business‑records verdict, followed by an unconditional discharge at sentencing; federal felony prosecutions were dropped or wound down after the 2024 election, and other state matters remain litigated and subject to appeal [1] [3] [4].
