Which court handles each of the 91 charges against Trump and what are their scheduled trial dates?
Executive summary
Available sources say Donald Trump has been charged with a total often reported as 91 felony counts spread across four main criminal matters in Washington (federal), New York (state), Georgia (state) and Florida (federal), though some outlets list 88 counts in earlier reporting [1] [2]. Reporting and trackers differ on which specific charges are active and which trials remain scheduled because several prosecutions were stayed, dismissed, or altered through late 2024 and into 2025; sources reflect ongoing shifts including dropped federal cases and state-level developments [3] [4].
1. Four main criminal dockets — where the 91 counts are usually grouped
Journalists and databases group the counts into four principal cases: (a) a federal classified-documents case in the Southern District of Florida; (b) a federal election-related case in Washington, D.C. (Special Counsel Jack Smith’s matters); (c) a New York state case brought by the Manhattan DA over business records/hush-money matters; and (d) a Georgia state racketeering/election-interference indictment from Fulton County — the aggregate number across those matters is commonly reported as 91 felony counts (some reporting earlier used 88) [1] [2].
2. New York (Manhattan) — falsifying business records: what court and dates
The Manhattan criminal case is a New York state prosecution in New York state court; it produced 34 counts of falsifying business records and led to a high-profile trial and sentencing timeline described across sources. That trial occurred in 2024 and resulted in conviction; sentencing dates and later actions (post‑election delays and a January 10, 2025 unconditional discharge) are documented in reporting and public records [5] [4]. Available sources do not list a future trial date for those same counts because the case already proceeded to trial, conviction, and post-trial action [5].
3. Federal classified-documents and related Florida charges — court and scheduling status
The documents-related indictment was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. That federal matter had trial scheduling activity in 2024 and into 2025, but the special counsel later dropped the government’s criminal cases in late 2024/early 2025 after Trump’s election — Smith asked for dismissal “without prejudice,” leaving open the theoretical possibility of future refiling after Trump left office [3] [6]. Available sources do not provide an active, firm future trial date for this federal Florida case because the government withdrew/abandoned those prosecutions [3].
4. Washington, D.C. election-related federal case — court and scheduling status
The election-related federal prosecution was in federal court in Washington, D.C., overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith and involved claims tied to January 6 and the 2020 post‑election period. That case’s schedule was affected by immunity litigation, appeals, and ultimately by Smith’s decision to drop the government’s criminal cases after the 2024 election; sources note appeals and stays before dismissal, so there is no active trial date listed in current reporting [7] [3].
5. Georgia state case — Fulton County racketeering/election-interference charges and complications
The Georgia matter is a Fulton County state prosecution alleging a scheme to overturn the 2020 election; it has been handled in Georgia state courts. That case’s progress has been affected by motions to disqualify Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis and appeals; by late 2025 reporting the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Willis and Pete Skandalakis later stepped in to continue prosecution after difficulty finding another prosecutor [4]. Sources show the case had been paused at times, and they do not present a single consolidated forthcoming trial date because scheduling has been in flux amid litigation over prosecutorial disqualification [4].
6. Why sources disagree on counts and dates — litigation dynamics and political timing
Differing totals (88 vs. 91) and conflicting schedules reflect genuine legal change: superseding indictments, added or removed counts, trials that already occurred (New York), appeals, judicial rulings on immunity, dismissals by the special counsel, and strategic pauses tied to the 2024 election. For instance, Jack Smith’s office asked to dismiss its federal cases “without prejudice” after Trump’s election, which the sources say could permit refiling later — a legal posture that makes any calendar contingent [3] [7].
7. What the available sources do not provide
Available sources do not provide a single, up‑to‑date itemized list of each of the 91 charges mapped to their exact courtrooms and a unified set of future trial dates; instead, they show a patchwork: the New York state case already went to trial (with post‑trial developments), federal cases were largely dropped by Smith after the 2024 election, and the Georgia prosecution encountered disqualification and resourcing questions [5] [3] [4].
8. How to get the granular, current docket information you seek
For an itemized, charge‑by‑charge mapping with firm trial dates, consult the primary court dockets and official filings in each jurisdiction (Manhattan Criminal Court records; PACER for federal Southern District of Florida and D.C. filings; Fulton County Superior Court records). The secondary sources cited here explain the broader status but confirm that schedules have changed with motions, appeals, dismissals and convictions [5] [3] [4].
