Pictures of former President Donald Trump who is running for president were on the front pages of all newspapers today, reading “GUILTY!”
On Thursday, 30 May 2024, 12 New York jurors found Former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, in connection with covering a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election.
And Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes.
New York Judge Juan M. Merchan set sentencing for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Republicans are expected to formally make Donald Trump their 2024 nominee.
Will Mr.Trump be the Republicans’ nominee to run for president? And as convicted of criminal charges can he still run for president?
What will happen remains to be seen,
