Guilty: Trump Becomes First Ex-President Felon in U.S. History

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... Guilty on all 34 felony counts — that's the historic verdict delivered Thursday by a New York jury in former President Donald Trump's hush money and election fraud criminal trial. Trump was charged with falsifying business records to cover up payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in order to protect his 2016 presidential campaign and is now the first former president to be convicted of a felony, facing the possibility of up to four years in prison. Judge Juan Merchan set his sentencing date on July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump will become the party's official presidential nominee. Trump, who can still be president as a convicted felon, slammed the verdict as a "disgrace," and his defense team plans to appeal. We speak with criminal defense attorney Ron Kuby, who followed the case closely and says there was a "tsunami of circumstantial evidence" that supported the prosecution's case. "The defense never posed any sort of realistic counternarrative," says Kuby. Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
