Donald Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial. On Thursday, May 30, a Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the high-profile case. This is the first time that a former American president has been convicted of a felony. A sentencing date has not been scheduled yet.
Trump, 77, was convicted of covering up a sex scandal during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Upon walking out of the courtroom, the former host of The Apprentice called the trial a “disgrace” and “corrupt” while speaking to cameras and reporters. He also repeatedly alleged that the trial was “rigged.”

According to multiple outlets and news organizations, it is unlikely that Trump will face jail time.
