This is a breaking news alert.
President Donald J. Trump has been convicted by a Manhattan jury for falsifying business records in connection with the Stormy Daniels so-called “hush money” situation, marking the first time a U.S. president has been found guilty of a felony.
He was convicted on all 34 counts.
Trump could face up to 4 years in prison.
As the verdicts were announced, Trump initially looked straight ahead but then glanced towards the jury box as each juror confirmed their decision. He kept a composed expression while Judge Juan Merchan expressed gratitude to the jurors. Sentencing has been scheduled for July 11.
“It was a rigged trial, it was a disgrace,” Trump said outside the courtroom on Thursday. “The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people.”
“We didn’t do a thing wrong. I am a very innocent man,” he continued. “We have a country that is in big trouble.”
BREAKING: Donald Trump found GUILTY on 34 of 34 felony counts in the NYC hush money case.
The jury deliberated for a total of 9.5 hours over two days before reaching a verdict.
Sentencing is expected in the coming weeks but could be delayed.

Trump is expected to appeal the conviction which will likely take months. According to the New York Times, it’s unlikely the appeal process will be resolved before Election Day.

I think Patrick Bet-David is spot on:
Expect two things:
1. More businesses leaving NY
2. Polls reacting positively towards DTJ’s Favor
Americans are NOT DUMB!
What the left hopes this’ll do will shockingly surprise them.
Future looks bright + Only the paranoid survive https://t.co/pO0CKojWn6
