Trump found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in first criminal trial against a US president

Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

          He has make believe money in the stock market and properties he doesn’t want to sell but apparently no cash.

            He did just sell a jet for $10mil+ to raise money to pay legal fees. It turning out that the sale has some possibly illegal parts so now it’s turning into the latest criming on his docket to deal with, though.

                Always was. Anyone who lived in the New York/New Jersey area in the 80s or 90s remembers.
