In NYC hush money case, the verdict is being read. Donald J. Trump GUILTY on counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so far.

Trump guilty on all 34 counts.

“You gave this matter the attention that it deserved and I thank you for that," Judge Merchan tells the Trump hush money jury which just convicted the former president on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

For the first time in American history, a former president is a convicted felon. The 34 convictions in the hush money case are certain to be appealed by Donald Trump's legal team.

"Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one," reacts House Speaker Mike Johnson in a statement immediately after the Trump convictions.

Sentencing for convicted felon Donald Trump is set for July 11.

@w7voa Music to my ears! Will July 11 be the new July 4?
