Fact check: Which specific convictions of Donald J. Trump have been overturned on appeal and on what dates?

1. What the reporting actually claims about overturned convictions — and what it doesn’t say

The assembled reports and summaries uniformly do not identify any conviction of Donald J. Trump that has been overturned on appeal. Multiple pieces note appeals have been filed and key rulings have been challenged, but none of the provided analyses record an appellate court vacating a criminal conviction previously entered against Trump. The New York case produced an unusual sentencing outcome — an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 — which the summaries treat as a sentencing disposition rather than an appellate reversal; appeals and filings to challenge that outcome are documented but not shown to have succeeded in overturning the conviction in the sources given ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. This distinction between a sentence and an appellate vindication is central to understanding claims that a conviction was “overturned.”

2. Cases dismissed without prejudice: what that means and which ones occurred

Several of the provided summaries record dismissals without prejudice in proceedings associated with Trump, which are not the same as convictions overturned on appeal. The Florida matter was dismissed without prejudice by Judge Aileen Cannon on July 15, 2024, following a ruling about the special counsel’s appointment, and the District of Columbia prosecution reportedly saw a dismissal without prejudice by Judge Tanya Chutkan on November 25, 2024. These procedural dismissals halt or pause prosecutions but leave room for charges to be refiled; they do not equate to appellate reversals of a trial court conviction, and the sources treat them as distinct outcomes from an appellate court vacating a conviction ^{[3] [5]}. Understanding this difference matters when evaluating claims that convictions were “overturned.”

3. The New York falsified business records conviction: sentence, appeal filings, and current status

The New York criminal conviction for falsifying business records is described in the summaries as resulting in a guilty verdict on all 34 counts at trial followed by an unconditional discharge sentencing on January 10, 2025. The reporting notes that Trump’s legal team formally appealed that conviction and characterized the prosecution as politically motivated or “fatally marred,” but the materials do not document an appellate court reversing or vacating the conviction. Instead, the record in the provided pieces shows sentencing, the filing of appeals, and ongoing legal argumentation — not an appellate judgment that overturns the conviction itself ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. Legal consequences and appeal outcomes should be distinguished: sentencing outcomes and pending appeals are not the same as appellate reversal.

4. The D.C. and federal matters: dismissals, appeals, and the absence of reversal findings

The summaries indicate substantial activity in federal and D.C.-based prosecutions, including filings, motions, and at least one reported dismissal without prejudice in the D.C. matter. Court dockets and case entries show appeals being litigated — for example, filings in United States v. Donald Trump in the D.C. Circuit are recorded — but the provided analyses do not report a successful appellate reversal of any conviction in those matters. The sources emphasize procedural developments, briefs, and challenges to jurisdiction or appointment of counsel, which can produce dismissals or remands but are not shown in the provided material to have produced an appellate reversal of a final criminal conviction ^{[6] [5] [3]}. That absence is salient when assessing claims about overturned convictions.

5. How different outlets frame the disputes and potential agendas to note

The available pieces vary in tone and emphasis: some legal pieces frame the filings as routine appellate challenges to preserve claims for higher courts and highlight procedural arguments about judicial impartiality and evidentiary sufficiency, while other summaries emphasize political characterizations of prosecutions as “politically charged.” Those framings reveal potential agendas — defense teams aim to portray prosecutions as flawed, while some outlets foreground public accountability narratives. The documents provided stop short of documenting an appellate court’s overturning of a conviction, focusing instead on sentencing outcomes, dismissals without prejudice, and filings of appeals. Readers should note the difference between legal advocacy language at the trial-appellate interface and formal appellate holdings reported in the record ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}.

6. Bottom line: what can be stated with confidence from these materials

From the supplied analyses and summaries, it is accurate to state that no Trump conviction is documented here as having been overturned on appeal; the materials instead show an unconditional discharge in the New York case, dismissals without prejudice in other cases, and ongoing appeals and filings. Claims that specific convictions were overturned would require citation to appellate opinions or orders reversing convictions that are not present among these sources. For an authoritative update beyond these materials, consult the specific appellate opinions or official court dockets corresponding to each case to confirm whether any subsequent appellate reversal has occurred ^{[3] [4]}.
