Can I get a charge-by-charge breakdown of the 34 felony counts in the Trump indictment with statute citations and penalty ranges?

1. What the 34 counts are, in plain terms

Manhattan prosecutors charged Trump with 34 felony counts that they classified as falsifying business records in the first degree, alleging the records were altered or recorded with intent to conceal other crimes in connection with $130,000 in payments (often described as “hush money”) tied to Stormy Daniels ^{[3] [2]}. Reporting and reference pages used here summarize the indictment as 34 counts of first‑degree falsifying business records and link those counts to the alleged payments and related bookkeeping entries ^{[2] [3]}.

2. What the sources say about legal labels and intent

Both Ballotpedia and Wikipedia entries, as well as New York‑focused reporting, emphasize that prosecutors pursued first‑degree falsifying business records because they alleged the falsified records were intended to conceal other crimes — a statutory pathway prosecutors commonly use to elevate a records‑falsification charge to a felony when it’s tied to an underlying scheme ^{[2] [3]}. The sources provided summarize the prosecution’s theory but do not reproduce the Manhattan statute number or full statutory text in the excerpts given here ^{[3] [2]}.

3. Conviction and courtroom outcome reported

The sources report that a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts on May 30, 2024, making him the first U.S. president to be convicted of felony crimes after his time in office; sentencing occurred later, with Judge Merchan issuing an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 ^{[1] [2] [3]}. These accounts report the verdict and the sentence outcome but do not, in the excerpts provided, enumerate statutory sentencing ranges for each count ^{[1] [2]}.

4. What’s missing from the provided reporting (statutes and penalty ranges)

The specific request — a charge‑by‑charge breakdown that lists for each of the 34 counts the exact New York Penal or other statute citation and the numerical penalty range per count — is not supplied in the search results you gave. The materials summarize the counts as “34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree” and report verdicts and sentencing outcomes, but they do not include a count‑level statutory citation list or a table of penalties per count in the snippets or pages provided ^{[2] [3] [1]}.

5. How others typically present that information (context for what you asked)

When journalists or legal databases produce a charge‑by‑charge table, they usually cite the statute number (for New York state felonies that is typically New York Penal Law § 175.10 for falsifying business records in the first degree) and list the statutory maximum or range (e.g., a class E felony penalty range under New York law), but I must note: the specific statute citation and penalty text do not appear in the supplied snippets and therefore I cannot assert them as facts here without a provided source that explicitly states them (available sources do not mention the statute citation or numeric penalty ranges in the excerpts you gave) ^{[2] [3]}.

6. Alternative viewpoints and limitations in reporting

The supplied materials focus on the indictment and conviction narrative. They highlight prosecutorial theory (records were falsified to conceal other crimes) and courtroom outcomes, but they do not include defense arguments about each count’s elements, nor do they include an itemized legal reference sheet or the defense’s statutory counterarguments in the excerpts shown ^{[2] [3]}. Because the developer instructions require using only the provided sources, I cannot supplement with external statute texts or sentencing charts that aren’t in these results (not found in current reporting).

7. If you want a true charge‑by‑charge legal table

I can create a charge‑by‑charge table that shows counts 1–34 as “falsifying business records in the first degree” and, if you provide or permit additional sources (New York Penal Law text or the full indictment document), I will attach the exact statute citations (e.g., the specific NYPL section) and the statutory sentencing ranges per count. With only the current set of sources, however, the precise statutory citation and numeric penalty ranges required by your request are not present in the provided reporting (available sources do not mention the full statutory citations or per‑count penalty ranges) ^{[2] [3]}.

If you’d like, tell me whether to (A) proceed to draft a plain‑language, count‑by‑count table that mirrors the indictment language using the sources above (without statute numbers/penalty amounts), or (B) add authoritative statutory and sentencing citations if you provide or allow me to use New York Penal Law and the full indictment text.
