Fact check: Does Donald Trump have 91 felonies?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Donald Trump does not have 91 felonies. The sources consistently show that Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York ^{[1] [2] [3]}. However, the total number of felony charges across all cases is significantly higher than 34.

The analyses reveal that Trump faces multiple indictments across different jurisdictions: 34 felony counts in New York, 40 counts in Florida, 4 counts in Washington D.C., and 8 counts in Georgia ^[4]. One source notes that these charges total more than 91 felony counts, but the exact number is not explicitly stated as 91 ^[4]. Another analysis mentions 37 felony counts related to the mishandling of classified documents ^[5], though this appears to overlap with the Florida case.

Importantly, Trump received an unconditional discharge for his 34 felony convictions in New York ^[6], meaning he avoided punishment despite the convictions.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about the distinction between charges versus convictions. While Trump has been charged with dozens of felonies across multiple cases, he has only been convicted of 34 felonies as of the current date ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

The question also fails to specify whether it's asking about:

• Total felony charges filed against Trump
• Actual felony convictions
• Pending felony cases

Political actors and media organizations would benefit from different interpretations of this question. Those seeking to emphasize Trump's legal troubles would benefit from highlighting the total number of charges (which exceeds 91), while Trump's supporters would benefit from focusing solely on the 34 convictions, particularly given his unconditional discharge ^[6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question contains potential misinformation by implying Trump "has" 91 felonies without distinguishing between charges and convictions. The analyses show that while Trump faces dozens of felony charges across multiple jurisdictions ^[5], he has only been convicted of 34 felonies ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

The framing of the question may be designed to create confusion about Trump's legal status. The specific number "91" appears to be neither the total charges nor the convictions, suggesting it may be an inaccurate figure that has circulated in political discourse. The analyses indicate the total charges exceed 91 ^[4], but the exact number varies depending on how cases are counted and their current status.

This type of imprecise questioning benefits those who want to either inflate or minimize Trump's legal exposure without providing the necessary context for accurate understanding.
