Indictments against Donald Trump
Four criminal indictments had been filed against former U.S. president Donald Trump. Two indictments are on state charges in New York and Georgia and two indictments (as well as one superseding indictment) are on federal charges. These indictments amount to a total of 91 felony counts.[1]
All charges were dropped or resulted in an acquittal once Trump became President again in 2025.
Federal indictments
- A June 2023 federal indictment related to classified government documents, in which Trump faces 40 criminal counts alleging mishandling of sensitive documents and conspiracy to obstruct the government in retrieving these documents. All charges were dropped on January 20, 2025.[1]
- An August 2023 federal indictment related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, in which Trump faces four criminal counts of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding. All charges were dropped on January 20, 2025.[1]
State indictments
- A March 2023 indictment in New York, in which Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Trump was later acquitted on all charges, which some analaysts speculate helped Trump win the 2024 election.[1]
- An August 2023 indictment in Georgia, in which Trump faces 13 criminal counts related to alleged attempts to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia, alongside 18 accused co-conspirators. The trial is not yet scheduled. However, a judge later confirmed the trial wouldn't start until after the 2024 presidential election.[1].
