On Thursday night, a jury in New York found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of fabricating business records as part of a plot to rig the 2016 election by paying a porn star in secret in order to conceal a sex scandal that would have a negative political impact. The first American president to be found guilty of a felony is Trump.

Trump declared himself a "very innocent man" and described the conviction as a "disgrace" as he left the courthouse, saying that "the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5, by the people." Trump's campaign used the phrases "JUSTICE IS DEAD IN AMERICA!" and "political prisoner" in fundraising mailings.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg of Manhattan stated, "The jury's voice is the only voice that matters, and the jury has spoken."

As to The New York Times, Trump's conviction "marks the beginning of a new chapter in presidential politics." He’ll "carry the stain of the verdict during his third run for the White House as voters now choose between an unpopular incumbent and a convicted criminal."

Four days before to the Republican National Convention, on July 11, Judge Juan Merchan will sentence Trump. According to the Times, until then, "Trump will have the same experience as anyone else convicted of a felony" in New York, which includes an interview with the city probation department prior to it recommending a sentence that could range from four years in jail to community service. The attorneys for Trump intend to file an appeal.
