The verdict was "guilty" for the charges against him. He was the first former president of the United States to be convicted of a crime. According to Reuters and other sources, 1 Manhattan resident of New York
After deliberating in Manhattan Criminal Court that afternoon, the two-person jury unanimously found Trump guilty of all 34 criminal charges brought against him.
The judge, who is a judge in Manhattan, New York, announced that he had declined to appoint Trump as the official Republican candidate.
The verdict is scheduled for July 11, before the Republican National Convention begins on July 15, when the verdict is expected to be announced. Trump could face between 18 months and four years in prison.
Given his lack of criminal history, he may be given a shorter sentence or even a suspended sentence. Trump has been accused of sexually abusing his former partner, porn star Stormy Daniels.
He is accused of disguising the expenses as legal consulting fees and manipulating company records to prevent his money from being exposed after paying $130,000 through his then-personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Trump appeared outside the courtroom and said, "It was a rigged decision from the beginning. We have done nothing wrong and I am innocent. The real verdict will be handed down by the people on November 5th."
"We will fight to the end and we will definitely win," he said. Trump's side is reportedly planning to immediately appeal to the First Judicial Division of the New York Court of Appeals.
It is difficult to predict what will happen, but most people believe it will be difficult to know the final outcome before the presidential election. Even if Trump is found guilty, he will still be able to run for president.
Committing a crime cannot bar someone from running for office, but if Trump were found guilty, he could lose support among independents and Republican voters.
