The Republican allies of former President Donald J. Trump wasted no time in blasting the guilty verdict returned by a New York jury on Thursday and in imploring him to appeal, repeatedly turning to words like “travesty” to describe the moment.
Former President Trump was found guilty on all counts in New York v. Trump, but his legal challenges are far from over, as he awaits scheduling of trials and a major Supreme Court decision to determine whether he’ll have to spend any more time in a courtroom during the 2024 election cycle.
NEW YORK — A jury of 12 New Yorkers on Thursday found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business documents to cover up an alleged affair with porn actor Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
Donald Trump is now the first former American president ever to be convicted in a criminal trial — but it's far from clear whether that black mark will sink, or even weigh down, his bid to unseat President Joe Biden. Recent polls suggest that the guilty verdict could affect how key voting blocs view Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. But any change may not be enough to change the trajectory of the presidential race, according to the latest poll finding that only a small fraction of non-Democratic voters would be less likely to vote for Trump if he is found guilty in the hush money trial. Nearly three-fourths of registered independents said that a guilty verdict against Trump would make no differ
Trump Media shares fell as much as 15% in extended trading on Thursday after a New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his criminal hush money trial. The stock, which trades under the ticker "DJT," recovered slightly as trading continued, but remained down about 9% in the early evening. The former president owns 65% of the company's shares. Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social app, merged with shell company Digital World Acquisition Corp. in late March.
Now that his criminal trial in New York has wrapped up with a guilty verdict, former President Donald Trump is plowing ahead with a packed schedule of fundraising events that will likely raise millions of dollars for his presidential campaign. Trump is no longer required to sit in court every day, as he has been for much of the past two months. This frees his days for upcoming travel to fundraisers in both Republican strongholds like Texas, and deep blue states like California. Longtime venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya are scheduled to host a fundraiser for the former president on June 6 in San Francisco, according to an invite reviewed by CNB
Former President Donald Trump has at least one group of supporters he won't have to worry about losing even after he was found guilty in his New York criminal hush money trial: Republican megadonors. "I haven't heard anybody who gives a s---," said New York businessman and Republican donor Andy Sabin, when asked whether major GOP contributors he knows care about the verdict in Trump's trial. Many of the party's wealthiest donors tell CNBC they plan to stay in Trump's corner, despite him being found guilty in New York on all 34 felony counts. The donor sentiment represents a shift for some Republican megadonors, who initially looked for an alternativ
A New York jury on Thursday found Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an effort to conceal a hush money payment made to a porn star ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Politically, the unprecedented criminal conviction of a former U.S. president — and presumptive major-party presidential nominee — plunges the nation into uncharted waters, as the Republican continues his campaign against President Joe Biden. But legally, Trump's next moves are easier to predict. Here's what could happen next: After delivering its verdict, the jury is dismissed. The case then moves to the s
