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.

Police measured the decibel count of Taylor Swift’s concert at Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium after receiving complaints about noise levels. City hall is evaluating the readings to see if they exceeded permitted levels, with fines being prepared for promoters of previous concerts that surpassed noise limits. Residents are considering legal action to block future events due to the high noise levels. During the concert, experts recorded readings of 80 decibels, well above the permitted 53 decibels for a concert venue. The stadium’s revamp aims to increase Real Madrid’s income beyond football, with the recent concerts contributing to the club’s financial goals.
