"Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain," Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. "But today's verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president."
"The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater," Tyler continued, later adding, "A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans' freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November."
Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
In a humble courtroom in Lower Manhattan on Thursday, a former president and current Republican standard-bearer was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The jury’s decision, and the facts presented at the trial, offer yet another reminder — perhaps the starkest to date — of the many reasons Donald Trump is unfit for office.
CNN’s Jake Tapper said on air, “The former President of the United States is now a convicted felon”:
“First, a court found Donald Trump to be a sexual abuser. He was then found to be a fraudulent business owner. Now Donald J. Trump is a convicted felon,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said. “All are an affirmation of the rule of law. And Trump’s unfitness for office”: “Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter, and a threat to this country.

He has been found guilt of 34 felony financial crimes. Next up in this specific case is sentencing then appeal.

Recognized - not recognized. In the current US legal system, this is nonsense. The main thing is the court verdict, which entered into legal force after appeals in all instances.
Dancing on bones, when there are no bones yet, characterizes Trump’s opponents very shamefully.
