Former President Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 felony counts in a New York state court, becoming the first former U.S. president to be found guilty of a crime.
The jury found Trump guilty of tax fraud, grand larceny, and conspiracy on Tuesday after a two-month trial. The charges stemmed from an investigation into Trump's business dealings, including the Trump Organization's practice of inflating and deflating asset values to reduce taxes and obtain loans.
Prosecutors argued that Trump was directly involved in the scheme, which they said resulted in millions of dollars in unpaid taxes and fraudulent loans. Trump's defense attorneys maintained that he was unaware of the actions of his subordinates and that the case was politically motivated.
The conviction is a major blow to Trump, who is considering a run for president in 2024. It is unclear whether he will be able to overcome the stigma of a felony conviction in his political career.
Trump's attorneys have vowed to appeal the conviction, and legal experts say it could take years for the case to reach its final resolution. In the meantime, Trump remains free on bail.
The conviction is a significant moment in American history. It is the first time that a former president has been convicted of a crime, and it sends a strong message that no one is above the law.
The case has also been divisive, with Trump's supporters claiming it is a witch hunt and his detractors arguing that he should be held accountable for his actions. The conviction is likely to further polarize the American public and raise questions about the future of American democracy.
