many voices out there, the only voice that matters is the voice of the jury, and the jury has spoken. manhattan district attorney alvin bragg speaking yesterday following the historic conviction of former president donald trump on all 34 counts in the criminal hush money trail. trump becomes the first former u.s. president in american history to be convicted of a crime. the verdict was read just around 5:00 p.m. in a new york city courtroom after the 12 jurors deliberated for roughly 9 1/2 hours over two days. each of the 34 felony counts is associated with a falsified business record pertaining to trump s reimbursement of his former attorney and fixer, michael cohen, for a hush money payment to adult film actress stormy daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign, to keep her quiet about a sexual encounter she says she had with trump back in 2006. trump has denied her claim. sentencing is set for july 11th, just four days before the republican national convention begins
ordinary americans we just wrote in history good morning, waking up a convicted felon just five months before voters will have to decide whether to send him back to the oval office. donald trump has spent the last four years telling his supporters the 2020 election was stolen from him. and he has spent the last seven weeks telling them the trial was a political sham. here s what he said yesterday. the real verdict is going to be november 5, by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. this was done by the biden administration. in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent? and i think it s just a disgrace and we ll keep fighting. we ll fight til the end and we ll win president biden s campaign agreeing with trump on that very first part of what he said, writing this in a statement right after the verdict, quote there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box, convicted fe
she shouldn t be allowed to run, okay? there s virtually no doubt that fbi director comey and the great, great special agents of the fbi will be able to collect more than enough evidence to honor indictments against hillary clinton and her inner circle, despite her efforts to disparage them and discredit them. if she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. in that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. [ crowd booing ] it would grind government to a halt. wow. well, that was then candidate donald trump just three days before the 2016 election, saying a president under felony indictment would grind the government to a halt and create a constitutional crisis. he got the premise right, just the players wrong, as he is now the first former u.s. president and candidate to be convicted of a crime. i mean, this is what he said. she should not be able to run. i

Dastardly enemy, and anyone who questions that, is probably a tool of Vladimir Putin and therefore, a traitor to our country. One current member of the House Intelligence Committee put it this way. Why were the russians in the white house . And i mean that seriously. They had just attacked our democracy. They are being there is exactly what we have all feared all along, is that donald trump would Say Something to them that is not really in line with u. S. Policy. They are not our friends. We should share nothing more than pleasantries, certainly not National Security secrets. Tucker congresswoman stephanie murphy, a democrat from florida, went a step further than this. She demanded the u. S. Government stop speaking to russia at all in any way. There is no such thing as appropriate contact with a hostile foreign government. No word on whether she applied that same standard to barack obama recent deal with communist cuba. Nobody is arguing here, even a
