Fact check: Trumps felony convictions list as of August 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. This conviction makes him the first former or serving US president to be found guilty of a crime and the first presumptive major-party nominee to become a convicted felon ^[5].

The specific charges relate to falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ^[3]. Following his conviction, Trump received an unconditional discharge from the judge, resulting in no further penalties or jail time ^[2].

Trump is currently appealing the conviction ^{[1] [6]}, with his legal team arguing that the case should be moved to federal court due to his status as both a former and current president ^[6]. Despite the felony conviction, Trump retains his ability to vote in the 2024 presidential election ^[4].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original query lacks several crucial pieces of context that emerge from the analyses:

• Trump's response to the verdict: He has characterized the trial as a "rigged trial" and announced plans to appeal the decision ^[7]
• The specific nature of the charges: The convictions specifically relate to falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments, not other potential criminal matters ^[3]
• Legal consequences: The unconditional discharge means Trump faces no jail time or additional penalties beyond the conviction itself ^[2]
• Political implications: The conviction's impact on the 2024 election and Trump's continued pursuit of the presidency ^{[7] [3]}
• Ongoing legal proceedings: The case involves active appeals and arguments about federal versus state court jurisdiction ^[6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement requesting "Trump's felony convictions list as of August 2025" could potentially mislead by:

• Implying multiple separate cases: The phrasing suggests there might be multiple different felony convictions when the analyses show only one case involving 34 counts of the same type of charge (falsifying business records)
• Suggesting finality: By asking for a "list," it may imply the convictions are final and settled, when in fact Trump is actively appealing the conviction ^{[1] [6]}
• Omitting the discharge: The request doesn't acknowledge that Trump received an unconditional discharge, which significantly affects the practical consequences of the conviction ^[2]

The analyses consistently show that while Trump has indeed been convicted of felonies, it represents a single case with 34 related counts rather than multiple separate felony convictions across different cases.
