Donald Trump became the first former US president to be convicted of a felony when a New York grand jury found him guilty on 34 counts of fabricating company records. The Biden-Harris campaign said that no one is above the law, while Trump condemned the ruling as the consequence of a crooked political system. Trump`s sentence is scheduled for July 11, only days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when he will be nominated as the party`s presidential candidate in the November election.
Shortly after the verdict was announced, Trump denounced the trial as rigged by a compromised and corrupt judge. He maintained his innocence and called the trial a disgrace. Donald Trump, the prospective presidential nominee of the Republican party, vowed to continue fighting, alleging political vendetta by the Biden administration.
