Video: Trump becomes first former US president convicted of felony crimes

Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of felony crimes on Thursday, as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges related to a scheme to influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump, who remained stoic during the verdict, called the trial rigged and disgraceful. Judge Juan M. Merchan scheduled sentencing for July 11. This conviction could impact Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, although he plans to appeal the decision, maintaining that he did nothing wrong.
