The Convict In Chief
Former President Donald Trump is now a convicted felon and the Republican presumptive nominee for President.
In a historic day, a jury of 12 U.S. citizens unanimously found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records as a conspiracy to hide his affair with an adult film actress prior to the 2016 election. Trump declined his right to testify in his own defense. His sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention.
