In total, Trump was indicted on 34 counts, and a jury found him guilty on all counts.

Donald Trump has officially become the first former US president to be convicted of a criminal offense. For the first time in history, a US president – former or current – found himself in the dock; This is the first time he has been convicted. In addition, for the first time, a likely presidential candidate from one of the country’s two main parties has been found guilty of a criminal offense.

A New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records to hide payments to former porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

In total, he was charged with 34 counts. The jury found him guilty on all counts.

The final verdict is not yet

The former president will be sentenced by Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the trial. It will happen on July 11th. After leaving the meeting room, Donald Trump gave brief comments to reporters and said “it’s still a long way off.”

“We will continue to fight, we will fight until the end, and we will win, because our country has become hell,” he said. “We are no longer in the same country, we have a divided mess.”

The former president also again attacked the current US administration, which he blamed for his prosecution.

Joe Biden’s team, commenting on the jury’s verdict, said that “no one is above the law.”

The crux of the matter

Donald Trump has been accused of falsifying business records used to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Daniels said she and Trump had sex in 2006 and that the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen paid her to keep quiet about it.

The indictment alleges that Trump falsified records when he paid Cohen for his money in legal fees.

Trump pleaded not guilty to any of the 34 counts and also denied having sex with Daniels.

what next

Trump has already said he plans to appeal the verdict, which will be handed down on July 11. In theory, Trump could be sentenced to prison and a large fine. Not long ago, Trump won the Republican presidential nomination again. The party congress must approve his candidacy literally days after his conviction.

That is, Trump will still not be removed from the election; Republican politicians, many of whom were in court to show their loyalty to the former president, quickly rallied behind him.

House Speaker Mike Johnson called May 30 an American day of shame, saying the trial was “a purely political, not a legal exercise.”
