(10,667 posts)6. Here's politifact's assessment of those numbers
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/09/facebook-posts/many-more-criminal-indictments-under-trump-reagan-/
Our ruling
A Facebook post said that there have been 317 criminal indictments under three recent Republican presidents and only three under three recent Democratic presidents.
The claim is essentially on target for the Democratic presidents, but the comparison to the GOP presidents is overstated, because the numbers of Trump and Nixon administration indictments claimed are greatly exaggerated.
Even so, with a generous count, there were roughly 142 people indicted in the three GOP presidents far less than 317, but far more than the two under the Democrats.
