Trump,  says he will appeal historic conviction (Updated)

Donald Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records and plans to appeal the verdict after his sentencing on July 11. The charge carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison, but Trump’s public criticism during the trial could lead to a tougher penalty. Despite the conviction, Trump is still running for president in the 2024 election and faces three other criminal prosecutions. The guilty verdict prompted him to intensify deliberations on selecting a woman as his vice presidential running mate. National opinion polls show a tight race between Trump and Joe Biden, with some Republican voters expressing continued support for Trump while others are considering voting for Democrats. The verdict led to an increase in campaign donations for Trump, and some major Republican donors plan to continue supporting his campaign. The jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business documents based on explicit testimony from Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. If elected, Trump could potentially shut down federal cases against him related to overturning the 2020 election loss and mishandling classified documents.

Biden emphasized that Trump had the opportunity to defend himself, the case was brought by the state, and the verdict was delivered by a jury of 12 citizens. Biden condemned attempts to undermine the U.S. justice system with false allegations and called it reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible. Trump, on the other hand, claimed the trial was politically motivated and suggested that no American was safe from prosecution. The guilty verdict in Trump’s trial has implications for the upcoming presidential election where Trump will try to win back the White House from Biden.
