In a historic turn of events, former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. The verdict, delivered by 12 jurors in New York, marks the first time a former or sitting U.S. president has faced criminal conviction. With the 2024 election looming, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, faces a new chapter in his political career.
Reacting to the verdict, Trump denounced the trial as “rigged” and “disgraceful,” emphasizing that the true judgment will come from the people on November 5th. His sentiments were echoed by several Ohio legislators, many of whom are known allies of the former president.
Among them, Republican figures such as J.D. Vance, Ohio U.S. Senator; Frank LaRose, Ohio Secretary of State; and Bernie Moreno, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, swiftly weighed in on the verdict.
