Former United States President Donald Trump has become the first person to hold that position to be convicted. On May 30, a New York jury found him guilty of all charges in the hush money case. Only five months are left until the election, and the jury gave its verdict on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Notably, the payment was made in order to stop porn star Stormy Daniels from revealing that the two of them had sex before the 2016 election.
Technically, he could be sentenced to four years of imprisonment for each count. Trump was released without bail, but the 77-year-old is now a felon. Ironically, Trump is convicted in a country whose presidents are normally considered the most powerful people in the world.
After much consideration, the decision was taken. Trump, meanwhile, sat expressionless while the verdict was given. Nonetheless, any imprisonment would not legally stop him from running campaigns or taking office in the event of a win.

After leaving the courtroom, he termed the trial ‘rigged’ and ‘disgraceful’ while talking to the reporters. The optimistic presidential candidate Said,
The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people. And they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here. You have a Soros-backed DA, and the whole thing, we didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man, and it’s okay, I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now,
