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.

Jurors in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial have begun deliberations – the 12 New Yorkers must reach a unanimous verdict.

A verdict could come at any time and the former president could be convicted, acquitted or there could be a mistrial.

The court has heard from 22 witnesses over six weeks, including Stormy Daniels, whose alleged affair with Donald Trump is at the centre of this case.

Donald Trump is accused of concealing a payment made to buy the former adult-film star’s silence shortly before the 2016 election.

He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, and denies any sexual encounter with her.

Prosecutors accuse Donald Trump of an “elaborate scheme”, while the defence called the other side’s star witness Michael Cohen the “MVP of liars”.

It is the first time in history that a US president – former or current – has faced a criminal trial.
