Former president Donald Trump has hit out after being convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York.
He’s called the verdict a “disgrace” and attacked the judge, and has found the support of fellow Republicans.
It is the first time a former or serving US president has been convicted of a crime.
He was accused of falsifying business records linked to a hush-money payment made Stormy Daniels, whose alleged affair with Donald Trump was at the center of this case.
The Biden campaign said the verdict showed that “no-one is above the law”, and has urged Americans to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t return to the White House.
Donald Trump can still run for president despite the convictions. He faces prison when he’s sentenced on 11 – but legal experts say a fine is more likely.
Donald Trump is due to deliver a press conference from Trump Tower at 11:00 EDT on May 31st.
