Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Donald Trump Found Guilty On All Counts In Hush-Money Case
Caption: Donald Trump Found Guilty On All Counts In Hush-Money Case. The 'New York Times' reports that the former president has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. This makes Trump the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony charge. The jury of 12 New Yorkers deliberated for over 9 hours before reaching the guilty verdict on Thursday. Trump remained unemotional after the verdict, telling reporters, “the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5, by the people”. Trump was convicted of faking records to cover up a sex scandal that had the potential to ruin his 2016 presidential campaign. The jury said Trump disguised hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels as ordinary legal payments to Michael D. Cohen. The conviction calls for up to 4 years in prison, but that is unlikely. Trump can still run for president in the 2024 election. There is nothing in the Constitution that states a felon cannot run for president. Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing date for July 11. It is expected that Trump is going to appeal the verdict. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
