On Thursday, May 30, a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying company records. So, he became the first American former president to be found guilty of a crime.
The lawsuit involved Trump and Stormy Daniels, a porn star, over hush money. She claimed to have had an affair with him before the 2016 election, receiving $130,000 from his former attorney, Michael Cohen, for silence. Trump denied the allegations.
The American criticized the case’s judge, Merchan, labeling the decision a “disgrace.” Trump may spend some time in jail after the July 11 sentencing date. Legal professionals, however, think that a fine is more likely to occur.
