Fact check: Which Trump felony cases are still pending in court?
1. Summary of the results
Based on the analyses provided, Donald Trump's felony case status is complex and evolving. The sources reveal that Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the New York hush money case [1] [2]. However, this case remains active as Trump is actively appealing his conviction, with his lawyers arguing the case should be moved to federal court due to his presidential duties [3].
Regarding other felony cases, the sources indicate that Trump faces three other felony indictments beyond the New York case [4]. The analyses mention several cases including:
- The classified documents case, which was dropped by special counsel Jack Smith [1]
- The Georgia election interference case [5]
- The federal election interference case [5]
The sources suggest that while the New York case reached a conclusion with conviction and sentencing (Trump received an unconditional discharge), other cases may still be pending [4]. One source from July 2025 indicates that multiple felony cases against Trump are still pending in court [6], though specific details are not provided.
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The analyses reveal significant missing context about the current procedural status of each case. While the sources mention various felony cases, they lack specific details about which cases remain active versus which have been dismissed or resolved [6] [7] [8].
Key missing information includes:
- Detailed status updates on the Georgia election interference case
- Current procedural posture of the federal election cases
- Timeline implications of Trump's presidential status on pending cases
- Specific court jurisdictions handling each remaining case
The analyses also don't address alternative legal strategies being employed across different cases or how Trump's return to the presidency may impact the resolution of pending matters. The sources focus heavily on the New York case while providing limited detail on other felony proceedings [5] [9].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question appears factually neutral and doesn't contain obvious misinformation. However, it may oversimplify the complexity of Trump's legal situation by treating all "felony cases" as equivalent when they involve different jurisdictions, charges, and procedural statuses.
The question doesn't acknowledge that some cases have been actively dismissed (like the classified documents case dropped by Jack Smith) while others remain in various stages of appeal or litigation [1]. This could lead to misleading assumptions about the scope of pending legal matters.
Additionally, the framing doesn't account for the unique constitutional questions surrounding prosecuting a sitting president, which several sources indicate is a central issue in Trump's legal strategy [3]. The question treats the cases as standard criminal proceedings without acknowledging the unprecedented nature of prosecuting a former and current president.
