Is it correct that Donald Trump is a convicted felon?

Yes, based on New York court records. A Manhattan jury convicted President Donald J.
Trump on May 30, 2024, of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree
(New York Penal Law § 175.10). Those counts are felonies under New York law.
= The court entered judgment after sentencing on January 10, 2025
(unconditional discharge).
= An appeal of that judgment is pending in the Appellate Division,
First Department.
Official records: People v. Donald J. Trump (NY Courts docket) 7, verdict sheet 2,
Congressional Research Service summary of the conviction 21.
This is a state court result, not a federal conviction. Federal criminal cases against him
were dismissed. | do not give legal advice.
