What You Need to Know About Donald Trump’s Conviction in the Hush Money Trial

Former President Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, marking the end of a historic hush money trial but opening the door to a new chapter of legal battles and uncertainty. The Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.

As the sentencing looms, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Trump could face prison time. The charge he was convicted of carries a maximum sentence of four years, but the ultimate decision lies with the judge. With sentencing set for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention, the stakes are high for the former president.

Despite the conviction, Trump’s campaign remains undeterred, with plans to continue his bid for the presidency. His daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has even suggested that if he is sentenced to home confinement, he will still participate in virtual rallies and campaign events.

As Trump’s legal team lays the groundwork for appeals, the road ahead remains uncertain. From challenging the judge’s rulings to questioning the validity of key witnesses, the defense is leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to overturn the conviction.

With the 2024 election on the horizon, the impact of Trump’s felony conviction remains to be seen. While some believe it could sway voters, others argue that the former president still holds a strong position to challenge President Joe Biden. As the legal battle continues to unfold, one thing is certain – the fight is far from over for Donald Trump.
