Executive summary

Donald Trump has faced criminal charges in multiple matters since 2023, most prominently a New York trial that produced a May 30, 2024 conviction on 34 counts of first‑degree falsifying business records related to hush‑money payments; he was later given an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 [1] [2] [3]. Reporting and public timelines describe four separate criminal cases opened in 2023 — two federal and two state — though outcomes vary by case and many procedural developments (stays, immunity questions, dismissals or reviews) continued into 2025 [4] [2].

1. The New York hush‑money conviction: the clearest recorded criminal outcome

The Manhattan case accused Trump of falsifying business records to conceal reimbursements tied to a $130,000 hush payment to Stormy Daniels; a jury convicted him on 34 counts on May 30, 2024, making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony, and Judge Juan Merchan later imposed an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025 [3] [1] [2]. Merchan ruled that disputed immunity questions from the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision did not overturn the conviction because the conduct was personal and any evidentiary issues were “harmless” given the record [3] [5].

2. Four major criminal matters opened in 2023 — still a mix of outcomes

Multiple outlets and guides summarize that in 2023 Trump became the first ex‑president to be criminally indicted in four separate matters — two federal and two state — opened within months of one another; FRONTLINE and other reporting map those as distinct prosecutions with divergent procedural paths and status updates into early 2025 [4] [2]. Available sources do not enumerate every charge in every case here; they emphasize that outcomes differ by jurisdiction [4].

3. Federal prosecutions: immunity, pending reviews, and prosecutorial choices

Federal cases intersected with a Supreme Court immunity ruling in July 2024 that narrowed the reach of prosecution for official acts, producing questions about whether evidence or counts survived; courts and judges reviewed those effects and at least one judge was directed to re‑examine how that ruling affected the New York case [5] [2]. One federal special counsel, Jack Smith, sought dismissal without prejudice of a federal case timing it around the 2025 inauguration, and Smith resigned in early January 2025 — reporting notes that policy and prosecutorial transitions influenced case posture [4] [2].

4. Georgia racketeering/2020‑election probe: pauses and prosecutorial disqualifications

The Georgia election‑related case was paused in 2024 while the Georgia Court of Appeals considered whether prosecutor Fani Willis should be disqualified; that court later removed Willis from the case in December 2024, and subsequent developments through 2025 included appellate steps and, per longer timelines, eventual dismissal of charges by a successor prosecutor in late 2025 [2]. Sources show the Georgia matter involved complex appellate and prosecutorial motions rather than a straightforward conviction [2].

5. How reporting treats “all crimes” claims — allegations versus convictions

Chronologies and guides make a key distinction: many allegations and grand jury‑level charges were filed across jurisdictions, but the only conviction repeatedly documented in these sources through January 2025 was the New York falsifying business records verdict [3] [1]. Outlets such as PBS/FRONTLINE and Ballotpedia present both the indictments and subsequent procedural outcomes, underscoring that indictments are allegations and that conviction or dismissal must be tracked case by case [4] [1].

6. Broader context: legal, political and administrative ripple effects

The prosecutions intersected with politics — a 2024 election victory, questions about Department of Justice policies on prosecuting a president, and resignations or changes among prosecutors — all of which affected whether and how charges were pursued or paused [2] [4]. Separate reporting on later Trump administrations focuses on policy actions (pardons, task forces); those items are reported contemporaneously but are distinct from the criminal‑case record summarized above [6] [7].

Limitations and competing viewpoints

These sources document indictments, courtroom rulings, and a prominent conviction plus later discharge, but they do not provide a single, exhaustive catalogue labeled “all crimes Trump committed.” Available reporting lists indictments, convictions, dismissals, appellate orders and administrative actions across jurisdictions and time [1] [2] [4]. Some sources emphasize alleged wrongdoing and criminal charges; others stress procedural rulings, immunity questions and political context — readers should treat indictments as allegations unless a conviction or final dismissal is cited [4] [3].

If you want, I can: (A) produce a timeline listing each indictment and its status from these sources, or (B) extract exact charge counts and key dates from each cited article for a side‑by‑side comparison. Which would you prefer?
