Donald Trump Found Guilty on All 34 Counts in Manhattan Hush Money Trial

 

The jury reached a verdict on May 30 in Trump’s hush money trial, and he was convicted on all counts.

Donald Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial. On Thursday, May 30, a Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the high-profile case. This is the first time that a former American president has been convicted of a felony. The 77-year-old’s sentencing date is scheduled for July 11.

Upon walking out of the courtroom, the former host of The Apprentice called the trial a “disgrace” and “corrupt” while speaking to cameras and reporters. He also repeatedly alleged that the trial was “rigged.”

Donald Trump‘s has dramatically been found GUILTY on all counts in his historic criminal trial.

The jury of seven men and five women at Manhattan Criminal Court deliberated for nearly 10 hours before convicting the former President of 34 charges of falsifying business records.

It was the first time a former U.S. President has faced a criminal trial and the verdict could upend the 2024 White House race, proving a pivotal moment in the history of the United States.

 Trump said: ‘This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge.

‘The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people and they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here.

‘We didn’t do anything wrong. I’m a very innocent man. That’s OK, I’m fighting for our country, I’m fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.’

He added: ‘I think it’s just a disgrace. And we’ll keep fighting and fight till the end, and we’ll win because our country’s gone to hell.’

Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee who lost to Trump, indirectly referred to the verdict tonight when she presented an award at a festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

“Anything going on today?” she said with a slight smile to the audience, which applauded. “Well, I have to tell you, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here.”

Earlier today, she posted on Instagram about new merchandise she will sell, saying that “the design happened to be finalized today.”

The design showed an image of Clinton drinking from a mug alongside the words “Turns out she was right about everything.” The picture was emblazoned on a mug.

According to NBC:
