- Trump, who will be sentenced July 11, was charged with falsifying business records related to a 2016 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by his fixer Michael Cohen
- Trump is the first former U.S. president ever to be convicted of felonies.
A New York jury on Thursday found former President Donald Trump guilty of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen before the 2016 election.
Trump, 77, is the first U.S. president to be convicted of any crime. He faces three other pending criminal cases.
His sentencing for the hush money case was scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m. ET by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.
That is just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the twice-impeached Trump is set to be formally confirmed as the GOP's presidential nominee.
Trump, who remains free without bail, faces a maximum possible punishment of four years in prison for each count, although Merchan is not bound to sentence him to any prison time. Trump is certain to appeal the verdict.
The former president was found guilty of falsifying business records which described as legal expenses payments by him and the Trump Organization to Cohen to reimburse that former fixer for the $130,000 payment Cohen personally gave Daniels before the 2016 election.
