Here's A Rundown Of Major Political And Legal Events Coming Up For Trump

In a historic moment on Thursday, Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of a crime when a Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the first of his four criminal cases.

The jury found Trump guilty of all 34 charges of falsifying business documents to cover up a payment that had been made to porn star Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election in order to keep her from going public with allegations she’d had a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier, while he was married. Following the verdict on Thursday, Trump told reporters that he is a “very innocent man.”

“They wouldn’t give us a venue change,” he said, according to NBC News . “We were at 5 or 6 percent in this area. The real verdict is going to be November 5th. … This is long from over.”

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11— and this could be just the beginning of his legal troubles.

The twice-impeached former president faces three other criminal cases related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the retention of classified documents he took from the White House.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court is also expected to rule on whether Trump has absolute immunity from prosecution over claims he engaged in election interference. One is a federal case centered on the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and the other is a Georgia case involving appeals to state officials to “find” more Trump votes in an attempt to change the Electoral College count.

While all of this is happening, Trump has a list of events lined up as the likely Republican nominee gears up for the 2024 election.

Here’s a rundown of the major political and legal events coming up for the now-convicted former president:
