Trump Found Guilty in Historic Criminal Cases
Manhattan Jury Convicts Former President on Multiple Counts
Trump Organization Companies Also Found Guilty of Tax Fraud and Falsifying Records
In a landmark ruling, a Manhattan jury found former United States President Donald Trump guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his hush money criminal trial. The charges stem from payments that Trump and his associates made to two women who alleged they had affairs with him during the 2016 presidential campaign.
In a separate trial, a New York jury also found two Trump Organization companies guilty of multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. These charges relate to allegations that the companies had engaged in fraudulent tax practices for years.
The convictions mark a significant victory for the prosecution. They represent the first time that a former U.S. president has been convicted of a felony offense, and they could have major implications for Trump's future.
Trump has denied the allegations against him and has vowed to appeal the convictions. However, legal experts say that the convictions are likely to stand and could result in a significant prison sentence.
The historic ruling is sure to have major political and legal repercussions. It is a clear sign that no one, not even the former president, is above the law.
