À propos de ce contenu audio

 Donald Trump has faced several high-profile criminal trials over the past two years, drawing intense national and global attention. The most prominent conviction came in New York, where, according to Lawfare, Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30, 2023, for 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. His trial began on April 15, 2024, and by May 30, a Manhattan jury found him guilty of all 34 felonies. On January 10, 2025, Justice Merchan delivered a sentence of unconditional discharge, meaning Trump received no additional legal penalties but retained the felony convictions on his record.

In Florida, Trump faced federal charges related to the handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Lawfare reports that these included allegations of willfully retaining national defense information, obstruction of justice, interfering with a federal investigation, and making false statements. However, on July 15, 2024, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the indictment after ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith had been improperly appointed and funded. The decision was appealed, but the Justice Department ultimately dropped its appeal on November 29, 2024, effectively ending the case against Trump and his codefendants.

The federal case in Washington, D.C., involved accusations connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump was indicted on August 1, 2023, on four counts: corruptly obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and conspiracy against rights. The initial trial date of March 4, 2024, was vacated by Judge Tanya Chutkan as the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed Trump's claim of presidential immunity. After the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the district court on August 2, 2024, Judge Chutkan ultimately granted the government’s motion to dismiss the case in December 2024. Lawfare details that both federal cases—Florida and D.C.—were closed after Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

The Brennan Center for Justice also summarizes that, as of mid-2025, Trump faces no further active criminal prosecutions, with the exception of the completed New York conviction. Over the course of these trials, legal arguments over presidential immunity, prosecutorial authority, and the boundaries of federal law deeply influenced the outcomes and ignited vigorous public debate.

These court battles have made Donald Trump the first former U.S. president convicted of a felony and placed issues of accountability and executive power squarely in the national spotlight. Most legal challenges related to his administration's actions—such as those tracked by Just Security and Lawfare—now focus on civil litigation rather than criminal prosecution.
