Former US President Donald Trump was convicted of 34 charges
A jury in New York convicted former President Donald Trump of all 34 charges against him in the case of paying money in violation of the law to buy the silence of a pornographic film actress, making him the first former American president to be criminally convicted. The most prominent question now after the conviction is: Can former President Trump actually be imprisoned?
Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial of Donald Trump in New York in a case of forging financial documents, announced that the sentence against Trump would be issued on the morning of July 11.
The judge gave the Republican billionaire’s defense team until June 13 to present its defenses, and the Public Prosecution until the 27th of the same month to respond to these defenses.
Although the ruling does not prevent Trump from continuing his election campaign in accordance with the US Constitution, this exciting development comes only five months before the presidential elections in which Trump seeks to return to the White House.
