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.

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
