Sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention. He faces a range of penalties, from a fine to up to four years in prison for each count. However, it is anticipated that the sentences will be served concurrently rather than consecutively.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump said afterwards.

Posting to Truth, Trump posted “My civil rights have been totally violated with this highly political, unconstitutional, and election interfering witch hunt. Our failing nation is being laughed at all over the world!”

The verdict was announced in the Manhattan courtroom where Trump has been on trial since April 15. He had entered a not guilty plea to 34 counts of falsifying business records, stemming from a hush money payment made by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign.
After the jury exited the room, Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, filed a motion for acquittal, which the judge denied.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to specify the type of sentence he might pursue, stating that his office would present its arguments in court documents.
“While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately today at this verdict in the same manner as every other case that comes to the courtroom doors — by following the facts and the law in doing so, without fear or favor,” said District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“I did my job. We did our job.”
Legal experts informed NBC News that if Trump receives a prison sentence, he would probably be permitted to stay out of jail during the appeals process, which could last several months or longer. Consequently, the sentence is unlikely to impact his ability to accept the Republican nomination for president at the July convention.
