2024-05-31 95

A jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in his hush-money case involving porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump faces a maximum sentence of 4 years in prison, but the judge may also opt for probation, fines, or no prison time, depending on factors presented at sentencing. The conviction does not legally bar Trump from running for president again, and he maintains strong support from Republican voters and the party overall. Legal experts say Trump will likely appeal the conviction through the New York state court system and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court in a lengthy process.
