And there’s very little precedent for that." :: FIle "You have Biden with a 37 percent approval rating and someone who is viewed by a lot of Republicans as someone who has done harm to the country. He is not exactly a traffic driver, if you know what I mean." :: May 30, 2024 Thursday's verdict catapults the U.S. into unexplored territory before the November 5 vote. :: File Trump's campaign said it raised $35 million from small donors after the verdict, nearly double its previous daily record.

President Joe Biden said Donald Trump's conviction in his New York hush money case reaffirms the American principle that no one is above the law.

Donald Trump attacked the judge and the star witness in his criminal hush money trial and again tried to undermine New York's criminal justice system on Friday while seeking to turn his conviction on 34 felony charges into fuel — and not an impediment — to his bid to return to the White House.

President Joe Biden says Donald Trump was found guilty in his hush money trial and called it “reckless...dangerous" and "irresponsible" for anyone to claim the process was "rigged."

It's a lot of fun. A lot of scripts coming out, put on the press. New York Times, New York Edition. We usually get it around 10:00. We have two presses running. The order there is around 130,000. If the two presses run well, we should be off by around 12:00." Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime on Thursday when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election. After two days of deliberation, the 12-member jury pronounced Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts he faced. Trump watched the jurors dispassionately as they were polled to confirm the unanimous verdict. Trump, 77, has denied wrongdoing and an attorney representing him said they would appeal as quickly as possible.
