Former President Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president ever to be convicted of a crime on Thursday after he was convicted on 34 criminal counts related to hush money payments from the 2016 election. The GOP frontrunner publicly denounced the trial as "rigged" and "disgraceful," claiming his innocence. He faces sentencing on July 11 and is expected to appeal the verdict, though legal experts say there is no chance of overturning it before the 2024 election. Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that "this is long from over" signaling his intent to appeal.
