What are the specific charges and current status of each of Trump’s four indictments?
Executive summary
Donald Trump faces four separate criminal matters filed in 2023: a New York state "hush‑money" indictment, a federal classified‑documents case in Florida, a federal Jan. 6 election‑interference case in Washington, D.C., and a Georgia state racketeering/election‑subversion case; across those cases he was charged with roughly 88–91 counts, has been convicted on the New York counts, and other charges have followed varied fates including scheduled trials, superseding indictments and judicial dismissals [1] [2] [3]. Ballotpedia and other trackers show a post‑2023 legal landscape in which prosecutions, appeals and judicial rulings have reshaped each case’s status, with prosecutors and courts still litigating whether some charges can continue [3] [4].
1. New York state — “hush‑money” falsified records: 34 counts, conviction and sentence
The Manhattan indictment accused Trump of scheming to bury allegations of extramarital affairs by falsifying business records, charging him with 34 felony counts of first‑degree falsifying business records tied to payments made around the 2016 campaign; he was tried, convicted on all 34 counts on May 30, 2024, and that verdict stands among the clearest final outcomes of the four cases reported by multiple trackers [1] [2] [5] [3].
2. Federal (Southern District of Florida) — classified documents: roughly 37–40 counts, pleaded not guilty and litigation ongoing
The Florida federal indictment alleges mishandling of sensitive national defense information and obstruction, with reporting describing either 37 felony counts (commonly reported) including dozens of counts for illegally retaining national defense information and at least one count of conspiracy to obstruct, or a 40‑count tally in other summaries; Trump pleaded not guilty and the case has been set for trial dates and pretrial contestation over subpoenas, evidence and related procedural motions, leaving the litigation active rather than resolved [1] [2] [5].
3. Federal (D.C.) — Jan. 6 election‑interference: four counts alleging conspiracy, obstruction and related offenses; superseding indictment and immunity issues
Special Counsel filings in Washington charged Trump in August 2023 with four federal counts including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to deprive citizens of rights, obstruction of an official proceeding, and related charges tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 result; prosecutors later filed a superseding indictment recasting some allegations around Trump’s status as a candidate after a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, and the office acknowledged uncertainty about whether all counts will survive further review and litigation [4] [2].
4. Georgia state — efforts to overturn the state result: 13 originally, later 8 counts and mixed judicial rulings
Fulton County prosecutors originally indicted Trump and multiple co‑defendants on a sprawling state case alleging a conspiracy to falsify Georgia election outcomes; public summaries note an initial 13‑count indictment that was pared to eight counts with roughly 18 codefendants named, and that a Georgia judge struck several charges for specificity and supremacy‑clause reasons and later dismissed remaining counts in November 2025, a development that materially narrowed the state prosecution though appeals and motions have figured throughout the docket [2] [3].
Context, totals and competing narratives
Across the four matters, contemporaneous trackers put the aggregate number of criminal counts in the high eighties to low‑nineties and record that as of late 2025 judges and juries had convicted Trump on 34 counts while dismissing roughly 52 others, a tally that captures convictions, judicial dismissals and prosecutorial withdrawals but also leaves substantial litigation and appeals unresolved in other cases [3] [1]. Commentators differ sharply on the meaning of these outcomes: some see the New York conviction as conclusive proof of criminal liability on one front while others—cited pieces in outlets like The Atlantic—argue that political influence over prosecutions and changing Justice Department priorities create risks that criminal processes can be used as tools of power [3] [6]. Reporting from BBC, AP, VOA and legal trackers underscores that the legal status of each indictment is a moving target: convictions, superseding indictments, scheduled trials and judicial dismissals have all occurred, and courts will continue to determine which charges are legally viable [4] [5] [1] [2].
