" in new york today we saw no—one is above the law. donald trump has always mistakenly believed he would not face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. 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 about box, convicted felon or not trump will be the republican nominee for president. it goes on to say the threat to democracy has never been greater and he's running on an unhinged campaign on retribution. i'll start with you, rainer, if you would give us your statement on the biden harris campaign. i would give us your statement on the biden harris campaign.— biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate _ biden harris campaign. i think it's

on thejudge will have happen. it is a sweeping verdict on the judge will have to take that into account. there are certain exacerbating factors that are not present here, he doesn't have a prior criminal conviction. he did not take the sand and you know, live. —— take the stand. there are extenuating circumstances, not known to be, some people would debate this but known to be a danger to the public. but yes, he will face the potential of an incarcerated tory sentence and i think the judge will give it serious consideration. it's also possible he could serve a split sentence, may be home confinement, other restrictions on his freedom. with regard to the president's statement today, this is a tragic day for the american people. to have the candidate of a major party be found guilty of incredibly unseemly acts is not a joyous moment for anyone. i would suggest, however, that the president would be remiss not to have commented and not to have commented on the meaning of this verdict.

moment means for donald trump? this really has been the last six weeks, looking at this historical trial, donald trump has turned into a campaign stump for himself as well, as he stuck to the media regularly. how pivotal is this for him, do you think? �* , �* , . pivotal is this for him, do you think? �* , h . . _ think? i'm sure it's an incredibly stressful experience _ think? i'm sure it's an

in. so i'm sure this is a very, very tough day for donald trump. as far as his campaign, he is still the republican nominee, so there is an election coming up in a couple of months. he has to try to make lemonade out of lemons so to speak. he has to try and make the best of it so it's not surprising that he sends out a missive to his supporters to try and raise money. and he's got to again continue to be the presidential nominee at this point. there isn't anyone else at the moment. we point. there isn't anyone else at the moment-— point. there isn't anyone else at the moment. . . , .

but he's there with his entire group of lawyers and his team that has been on hand for this trial, entire trial as well. this is the manhattan criminal courthouse and this has become a regular occurrence. donald trump showing up in court every day and of course leaving after often speaking to the media and this has been going on for six weeks now, richard, as we are looking at these

but it is, ithink it argument on that issue at all, but it is, i think it is quite difficult. in myjudgment, former president trump made a very smart decision not to take the stand. there were loads of documents, loads of witnesses, loads of statements he could have been cross—examined with both of you would have been faced with a difficult issue of the incredible —— committing perjury. it could have switched to sentence to a noncurrent incarcerated tory sentence to an incarcerated tory one. ~ p, , sentence to an incarcerated tory one. . . , one. we are seeing the convoy drivin: one. we are

exactly hear what's being said, but we see the convoy driving down and it's slowing down slightly but we see some people waving flags. one american flag i see, i can't see what the others are waving at the moment but here it is, after this historic moment seeing donald trump convicted on all 3a counts of falsifying business records. and as we are taking a look at this, ann—marie, take us through again what these 3a counts were and how the jury came to this. basically, it was one action but what they did was there was a separate account for each of the entries and checks and so on. so it was really the one payment to stormy daniels that was involved, but it was broken down into 3a counts. so it's not a surprise that they found that he was involved with the decision relating to the stormy daniels payment and the entry of the business records that they would then find that he was guilty for all of those. all of the 3a counts. but it makes sense the way the jury came to it. it would've actually been more problematic if they had just picked a couple of them out of the 34, picked a couple of them out of the 3a, so it's at least consistent. but they, you know, they took a look at all the evidence, certainly there were witnesses that testified and they made a decision that they believed michael cohen, the one that said donald trump was involved with the decision, as to how this would be recorded, they had to of made a decision that he was involved in that process even though he was already in the white house at the time that the business records were actually recorded. the jury must have found that he was involved with that decision. this have found that he was involved with that decision.— that decision. as we are watching this convoy _ that decision. as we are watching this convoy continue _ that decision. as we are watching this convoy continue in _ that decision. as we are watching i this convoy continue in manhattan, we do have are reporters that were inside the courtroom throughout the entire trial looking at some of the notes that they've been putting on our live page about that moment that donald trump was found guilty. our reporter kayla epstein wrote that after several moments of unbearable silence you for the court officers voice ring out and she asked the jury voice ring out and she asked the jury to read the verdict, and as the wave of verdicts washed over her donald trump him he did not flinch or react physically, and for those washing, kayla said it felt like the air had turned to stone. we could imagine that must�*ve been a dramatic moment. we see donald trump as my car as it striving here. we want to bring in mr williams, house select committee to investigate the generally sixth attack, great to have you back on bbc

the other cases, we had one of these deja vu moments where we watch several arrangements earlier this year donald trump showing up at court and hear the first trial of course to actually take place and we have seen this historic conviction. mr williams, as we saw this play out in the last six weeks, getting the report of this, the defence again made the argument that these counts were based on testimony from someone who was a liar and they also of course called into question stormy daniels' character as well, she testified as well as we know. why do you think that wasn't effective in undermining the prosecution's argument? because what the prosecution _ the prosecution's argument? because what the prosecution focused - the prosecution's argument? because what the prosecution

where donald trump is heading, likely back to trump tower where he left from this morning, but mr williams, i want to go back to one point you made. you said nobody is above the law and that echoes the statement from the biden harris campaign that was released about ten minutes ago and the other panelists, richard and faith and ann marie, were talking about how it's perhaps regrettable that the biden campaign decided to comment on this verdict, what do you think that chris mark i would respectfully disagree. this is an historic day _ would respectfully disagree. this is an historic day and _

to what mr williams said, you how to print different perspective on this. he not only called the verdict a disgrace he attacked the judge. we've seen him do that through the course of this trial but do you say anyissue course of this trial but do you say any issue with the way that the judge handled this case? i any issue with the way that the judge handled this case? i think there certainly _ judge handled this case? i think there certainly are _ judge handled this case? i think there certainly are issues - judge handled this case? i think there certainly are issues that i there certainly are issues that undoubtedly will also be brought up on the appeal. there were conflict issues that the judge had, there were some questions relating to the way the instructions were set out, he was very restrictive as to the testimony of costello. he did not allow him to say much. he sustained most if not all the objections and really curtailed his testimony. he didn't allow a campaign finance expert to testify on behalf of the defendant, and given that that was a huge part of this case, that potentially can be very problematic. so there are a lot of issues there. that certainly, undoubtedly will be brought up on appeal and he may well get the case reversed based on some of the actions and statements of the judge. and thejudge, by the of the actions and statements of the judge. and the judge, by the way, of the actions and statements of the judge. and thejudge, by the way, he did donate tojoe biden and he, you know, he does have a daughter who is very active in the democratic party and has apparently used this case in part for fundraising and so will on. there are some issues there and he was not picked out of a hat, he was chosen specifically for this case. it was not done just by putting it in a wheel and having a random judge picked for this. so there are definitely some questions there. and one of the issues that came up before as far as being in manhattan, when a defendant cannot get a fair jury, there is the potentialfor a change in venue, so that may also be. i don't know if they're going to raise that on appealed at this point, but that is certainly an issue and given that the large majority in new york would have voted against donald trump, there is a question relating to whether he could get a fair trial in new york or not. he could get a fair trial in new york or not. �* .. . , could get a fair trial in new york ornot. �* . , ., or not. he didn't actually say that at the very _ or not. he didn't actually say that at the very

for a change of venue, that didn't happen. it was part of why he said he believed it was a rigged trial. a richer, coming back to you, this is going to be then, of course, a continuation going forward. take us through what the possible appeals process would look like. well. through what the possible appeals process would look like. well, there will be on appeal— process would look like.

you are referring to the statement from the campaign as he said. the motorcade is still moving albeit slowly, it is rush—hour in manhattan see you can imagine it is not particularly easy to get back to trump tower but we see it at this point moving along there, snaking along the road in manhattan. we understand the back of the are writing on our live page that it's quite a scene there as well. you have hundreds of people who have gathered an masses of media covering what happened is as well, our reporter says she has never seen as many people in hand. this is to be expected, this is a historic moment, we knew that donald trump's supporters had been showing up for this trial and many of his opponents as well have been protesting outside the courthouse as well. but this is what were looking at right right now, a gridlock to manhattan from what we can see, donald trump's motorcade attempting to move along there and we are waiting to see, moving again, donald trump after being convicted on 3a counts of falsifying business records, on this historic day, we are watching the scenes live from manhattan. if you're just if you'rejustjoining us, we if you're justjoining us, we are if you'rejustjoining us, we are on breaking news— our special coverage continues with history being made in new york as donald trump becomes the first former us president to be convicted of criminal charges after a manhattanjury convicted of criminal charges after a manhattan jury found convicted of criminal charges after a manhattanjury found him guilty on all 3a counts in order to cover up an alleged affair that threatened to derail his 2016 campaign. mr trump will be sentenced onjuly the 11th. here's what he said at the manhattan criminal court. this was a disgrace. this was a rigged trial by- a conflicted judge who was corrupt this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. it's a rigged trial, a disgrace. they wouldn't give us a venue change. we were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial that the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. you have a suspect, da, and the whole thing.
