What Was Donald Trump Convicted Of?
Former President Donald Trump was found guilty in a historic criminal trial on May 30, 2024. The jury convicted him on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a 2006 sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels by paying her. This verdict marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.
In response to the verdict, Trump characterized the trial as a “disgrace” and criticized the judge. His attorney made a motion for acquittal, which was denied. Additionally, Trump now faces the possibility of up to four years in prison, probation, or an appeal.
