- Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York.
12 jurors deliberated for two days before reaching a unanimous verdict - it is the first time a former or serving US president has been convicted of a crime.
He will be sentenced on 11 July - the former president could face prison, but legal experts have said a fine is the more likely outcome.
Trump has called the verdict a "disgrace" and has attacked Judge Merchan, who presided over the case.

What about the BBC's Saville hush money?
😂 Good point and well said. Double standards, eh?
did the BBC falsify records to cover it up? no.
I don't think that was part of this case.
Because Saville wasn't running to be President of the most powerful country on earth.
Nothing like the same thing & a completely ridiculous comparison.
Better to have asked , what about Blair's, Brown's, Cameron's, Johnson's Truss's or Sunak's dodgy financial dealing of our countries public funds 🤷🏼♀️ (imo of course)
@@ionwolfhelm Yeah. ofc people should be held accountable for crimes, but them not facing justice (which they obviously should) doesn't mean Trump is innocent, like so many people are implying lol.
Out of all the politicians this is the only one convicted
Funny that
They want the Democrats to win.
Out of all the politicians he's the only one dumb enough not to use loopholes to circumvent the law
A quick Google search would prove that untrue. 🤷
He is probably most unintelligent one as well, funny you didn't notice that?
Whether or not other presidents have committed crime and gotten away with it doesn't change the fact he committed crime and hasn't gotten away with it.
Make 0 difference it doesn’t stop him running for president, infact it will most likely strengthen his appeal across America.
No doubt with some it will. Hopefully some will think differently about having a convicted criminal as president.
@@littlefluffybushbaby7256 he’s no more of a criminal than most other politicians. Almost anyone can be convicted of the same things. It’s completely political and an abuse of the system, and I’m sure this will open the eyes of many more people.
@@jinbobh8159 So you are saying that people that break the law shouldnt be held accountable? ok, nice
yea among fascists maybe...the independence and normal republicans wont like this
@@jinbobh8159 no they wouldn't....he was white collar criminal his entire life - 3500 lawsuits before he even touch politics - endless up-paind debts and contractors, extortions, fake universities and charities - hes a professional scum and always was
The whole world can see what's happening
Yeah, Trump is a joke, we all see that.
Yes we can. A big orange buffoon has been caught paying a pornstar for sex with campaign funds.
Most of the world (and the US) just see that a career liar and repeated felon did something his expensive lawyers couldn't cover up this time. A spoiled brat was held accountable for acting above the law and was exposed for lying to the American public to save his own image. Most of the world wants more honest, respectful politicians who actually serve the public, regardless of their personal opinion and agenda. Most ppl aren't indoctrinated into a wishful worldview and arent surprised to see an egotist who takes pride in lying and breaking rules get in trouble for lying and breaking rules, whether they're republican or democrat. Trump's ego, his amorality and his deference to Russia make him a massive liability and a threat to the wider world, so most of the world are happy. I guarantee it. Dare to venture out of your bubble and you will see it for yourself
If non disclosure agreements are now a crime, The BBC should be very worried! 😂
They are not a crime, trying to write them off as payments for legal services can be, however.
You should be worried at your lack of skill in your native language
If stupidity was a crime, you'd be too stupid to realize you should be worried. 🤣😂😂🤣🤣
They are not a crime. Trying to cover up the truth to the American public when running as president is though. The end of your argument, finished full stop.
That wasn't the crime.
Yep, this is going to backfire.
Like his farts
They were saying that about indicting Trump in the first place.
Everyone expected a riot outside the court house when they first brought him in months ago.
That never happened.
His die hard fans already learned the value of caution after the legal consequences of 1/6 started being dispersed.
As for poll numbers it doesn't matter - there's still another 5 months till the election and it's likely his campaign will be completely bankrupt long before that time.
look at the russian doing damage control.

Im sure jim fixed a few payments here and there😂
Doesn't make trumps crimes any better does it.
@@paintspot1509you're right it doesn't, but that doesn't negate the point he made.
Trump was found guilty for business fraud, misusing funds to mislead the public about an election.
I am not aware of anyone at the BBC having done any of that.
He was found guilty of falsifying business records not for making hush money payments.
Anything to stop him from
Running again I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Or maybe hes just a crimial?
We will see when his appeal overturns it seems pretty dodgy to me all of it came out when he started running for president again the blue brigade tRNA lock him up as they know there gonna loose sleepy Joe can’t even speak properly let alone look after a country

@@lucuslovesyou2961 Yeah yeah, just like how he was suddenly a racist as soon as he started to run against a Democrat.
I hope this means the 14th amendment can go into effect. Nobody is allowed to run for any office if CONVICTED of a felony. His name should be removed from the ballot on November 5th, country wide. I hope so. He's already bankrupted the republican party. It's already past his jail time.
Well exactly, any regular citizen would be going to prison too, it's wildly unjust if he doesn't.
@@Katiewithdaffodils To be honest, he'll just pay his way out lol
The Trump case if only they looked into all politicians with such vigor they'd be no politicians left 😮
Yeah but no.
The GOP desperately tried everything and anything to do exactly the same over the last year.
They literally impeached someone without even stating a crime he had committed which shows the depths of their desperation and how little they actually have to work with.
That's not to say that all Democrats are squeaky clean - they aren't.
But the GOP have made an art form out of saying their opponents are doing something while actually doing it themselves in secret, and most notably sexual assault, molestation, stalking teenage girls and all sorts of other perverted s**t are popular pastimes of GOP politicians.
Matt Gaetz literally got his own parties Speaker of the House ousted because he wouldn't stop an investigation into him for sex trafficking 🤦♂

He won’t.
He can and, if he is in prison, will. The constitution says nothing abiut being found guilty of any crime. Likely intentional by the founding fathers, as they knew and understood political persecution

Come people, you telling me no other politicians are on the take or doing dodgy stuff. hope trump gets back in power again.
you hope a literal traitor, wannabe dictator gets back in power again?
Not only is Trump the first former president to be found guilty of a felony he is also the first person ever to face federal election charges in a state court and the first defendant in the United States who didn’t know their crime until after the defence had made their final statement.
The first statement is correct, the second two are totally false, obviously you have no legal knowledge of any kind. The charges against trump are made explicit in the arraignment which happens months before the trial starts, they are also read at the beginning of the trial. Many, many people have been tried for federal election charges in a state court. Being wilfully ignorant and just making things up is not the same as disproving anything
Hush money payments ? Well l bet there would be be many more people on trial if they decided to round them up.
Exactly
Why adhere to mainstream media's characterization of it as "the hush money trial"? The crime was falsifying business records in the first degree.

You missed the first bits. Hold the trial in one of the most democrat partisan districts in the whole of the USA, hand pick the jury and appoint a judge whose daughter works for a PR company which would make a massive amount of money to see Trump convicted. There's not really a need for a trial given those two facts, it was always going to go one way.
Wonder if you'll report on this when it gets overturned at appeal
thank you to do bbc job..to spread some truth👍
Trump’s counting on your support for re-election to pardon himself and then begin some Real mayhem.
Well, he committed those crimes in that particular district, that’s called JURISDICTION! Next time tell Trump and his minions to commit crimes in red districts so they got the jurisdiction to indict him.
Aren't there like another 90 cases against him? The guy is a narcistic sociopathic crook. He says it himself. What does he need to do before you see the emperor has no cloths?
So are you trying to say the USA legal system is completely broken? If so you would also suspect a billionair republican with ties to the most powerful in the US would be able to buy it too, right?
Right?
It wasnt a hush money conviction..it was a missclassification on a ledger by his lawyer
It was a deliberate falsification of business records to hide a payoff of hush money to hide an illicit sexual encounter with a porn star while his wife was recovering from childbirth to effect the outcome of an election
Of course the woke BBC was on top of this.
And didn’t mention the Islamic stabbings yesterday in Germany 😅
Daniel's wasn't his accuser. Having sex with or paying a porn star is not even illegal. BBC standards are dropping further as usual these days.
BBC have higher standards for the truth than you apparently have.
Falsified payments. Fool
This is not the problem. The problem is that the hush money payment was wrongly declared "legal expenses", and that this was a way to fraud voters. To become a president you have to have a higher transparency about how you disperse money. This is ment to prevent bribing and other voter manipulations. See it this way: if he would have been poor he could not have impeded Daniels to make the thing public before the election? But why should rich people have a better chance than normal people to masquerade their darker sides while running for president?
Falsifying business records is definitely illegal. You muppet.

Idiot just search it in the search bar. Someone is reporting it. Just not them. Youre the type of person to go to a tropical country and be mad that there are no ski slopes.
I'd guess (because I've not looked into it) that the reason for the lack of coverage is due to the fact that it would reflect badly on the people benefitting from Europe's enforced "cultural enrichment". The BBC hate people seeing evidence that diversity of skin colour is absolutely _NOT_ a strength.
The bbc reporting on a hush trial like they would never try to hush people up is comical.
This has just given Trump more votes. Also his black and Hispanic votes have gone up over 15% this year.
WRONG But Nice Try Though
His support has definitely increased, but will it be enough to beat the rigging? He had the most votes in 2020 too but.... unless there's mandatory ID, no 3am ballot drops, and untainted tabulation machines it doesn't matter if his support increases another 10%. He needs to win by a HUGE margin, too big for the rig to fix.

This is the same sort of thing Putin did to his political enemies... At this point the Democrats are fascists and their supporters are useful idiots.
The very dangerous thing short sighted leftist freaks seem to not care about is their political elites have now set the precedent that it is an acceptable tactic to weaponize the powers of the federal government, state government, law enforcement and the judiciary to attack political rivals.
So please spare me the tears & cries of "fascism" when the Republicans apply this exact same standard to their enemies when they get back in to power. I will sit back and enjoy the show when this happens and just say authoritarian leftists freaks will reap what they have sown.

If being a convicted criminal strengthens his appeal across America, it shows what a sad state the country has been reduced to, already beset with desperate problems like gun violence that kills thousands every year, drug use harming so many people, ever increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor, racism, prejudice, rampant crime, corruption, a third of Americans not able to afford health care, police brutality, no safety net, or very little of it for the less wealthy and less fortunate in society, increasing intolerance of other people’s opinions and an increasingly divided society and country. No, America these days seems to be more a land of nightmares rather than dreams. And a country that is spending at a figure ever closer to 1 TRILLION dollars a year on the military, a military that has not seen too many successes recently, like Afghanistan.

Well, they couldn’t do it 10 years ago because he hadn’t commit the crime 10 years ago, you don’t really understand what’s happening at all do you. In October 2016, in the weeks before the election, the Trump campaign was in meltdown over the “grab em by the pussy” tape, the RNC was considering replacing him. The national inquirer found out that Stormy Daniels was interested in selling her story of an affair she had with Trump in 2006. Cohen paid $130,000 as hush money and Trump repaid cohen in instalments, claiming the payments were for legal expenses, that is falsifying business records to hide campaign donations and conceal a hush money payment. Cohen has already been convicted and served time for this. Trump couldn’t be charged until he finished his term as president. Then it takes time to investigate, convene a grand jury, charge and get a trial.
Hope that helps

actually there are many (Kim Jong Un comes to mind) but thankfully Pence prevented the coup.
You're right.
I have no idea how Biden got away with that one.
"Hush money" ? That didn't work well, I'd ask for my money back.
Try to keep up. That’s been addressed by another court! NEXT…
@RichLP1 Nah Trump should really just stop talking, he's caused more than enough damage.
Blatant political lawfare.
He was convicted by a jury of his peers. People approved by Trump's defense. HOW IS THAT POLITICAL LAWFARE
Maybe the BBC could do a two hour Special explaining What the Hell the crime is ? Then we'd all believe it, wouldn't we ? Keep up the Good Work, Auntie......
Or look it up yourself?
Trust the ‘fact checkers’…….😂
You had 7 weeks to try and understand this. Two hours won’t help you.
The crime is falsifying the records to list it as a legal expense when it wasn't as this is deducted from taxable income (trump didn't pay tax on it) - it's the same as stealing roughly $50,000
you dumbass they literally explained it in the first minute of the video
And the west criticise how putin treats his competitors
The current West is probably more corrupt than Russia.
There is just something hilarious about him walking out of court and saying, “This was a disgrace.” 😂
"A carefully selected jury"
The defence are involved in selection and can have ppl dismissed. They go to great lengths to give themselves the best possible chance of acquittal. Ask Trump, he should be an expert on legal proceedings by now
The jury is selected by both prosecution and defense. They can both remove any jurer if they can show good reason, and additionally both have a limited number of chances to remove any jurer for any reason. It is literally true to say "Trump's lawyers carefully selected the jury".
Go back to sleep Steven.
You know they selected & agreed on the jury, right?
@@agentorangecb1 Sure....as if NYC is a fair state for a republican.
I bet the decision would be much different if trial was held in Florida .. What happens now ???!!!
We see if the Republican big money gets nervous.
@@justaghoulintheworld Exactly... Lets see
Fingers crossed, we'll see if you're correct. Just need to get Cannon out of the way so his documents trial can actually get underway.
Trump tried to get the trial moved to Florida, but it did not have jurisdiction since the offences took place in New York.
It will be slapped down, they just needed it for the election. It is obvious.
What the jury did was find him guilty of something even if he did it is no crime.
If he paid it with his own money, what is the problem? Like focking hell, get a grip! The current president is the one that needs investigating and his kids
The judge donated to Biden. Talk about biased.
But only $15 according to him😂
The obsession with Trump is a symptom of just how sick Western society has become... dear goodness me
Obsession with Trump??? Many support Trump because of his America First presidential record. He had the best administration in decades!! We had a 60-year record (or near record) of low unemployment and job growth for EVERY US demographic during 45's presidency!
Using existing legislation, Trump closed the border, and forced Mexico to pay for it by having them use thousands of their armed forces to keep people who cross the border illegally in Mexico, at Mexico's expense. He cut taxes and cut regulations, which improved the economy for ALL Americans. Unlike presidents before him, Trump demanded that our so-called allies start to pay their fair share of NATO defense spending.
Trump got rid of NAFTA and replaced it with a pro-American policy which is much better for US workers and US businesses. Unlike the unfulfilled promises of past presidents, Trump actually moved the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. There were three mid-East peace treaties, at least two major terrorists bombed, NO NEW WARs and gas under $2. If support for Trump is an "obsession" then I'm happy to be obsessed.
The only reason he ran again was to try to get out of the charges! No president or ex president has ever announced so early that he was going to run.
So he’s now been done for sexual assault and he has a criminal conviction. Who would have thought it. 🎉🎉🎉
He paid for sex from a porn star and then gave her extra money so keep it to herself, she then went on to blackmail him for more and then went and broke the agreement they had, that she was paid for.
I think you need to start looking up the meaning of words before you type them, because last time I check non of that is classed as sexual assault.
How did it unfold? And yet you miss out the biggest question I have, and I think the biggest question everyone should be asking. The Judge stated that of the 34 counts, the jury did not have to be unanimous on all of them. They just all had to agree that a crime was committed. What the fuck? That is my question. How can this be legal? It sounds to me like a person accused of Stealing a car, drinking alcohol and then driving the car, speeding down the busy streets, and then hitting and killing a pedestrian, is on 4 counts of theft, drink driving, speeding and murder. And then the judge says he'll be convicted of murder, so long as you all agree he did something bad. And then 1 juror thinks he is guilty of murder but 14 think otherwise, but because the other 14 agree he was drinking and driving, but didn't steal the car, didn't hit the person and wasn't speeding, the person is convicted of murder anyway. That's the impression I get and I want to see a run down on what the jury actually agreed on. Did they actually unanimously agree to any of the charges being guilty, or did they all decide some he's guilty, some he's not , but we'll convict him of them all anyway? This doesn't feel legal to me. It already felt like the Democrats were trying everything to stop him running again. It feels very politically motivated. It feels like the democrats have actually been playing dirty tactics and that will only help Trump gain support. But most importantly, this isn't going to do much to damage his support. If he was guilty of murder, treason or providing US secrets to Putin, then sure, people will turn on him. But paying off someone to be quiet about a sexual encounter they had in the past and trying to cover his tracks. Not the worst crime in the world. If he's guilty, sure convict him. I don't know if I believe he is, but sure, fine him. But jail seems excessive. And it certainly won't dissuade people from voting for him. His voters think he is the key to a better America. They won't give up on a better America all because Trump paid a pornstar to be quiet.
wah wah wah cry harder. Let me play the worlds smallest violin for you and traitor trump.
GUILTY on all 34 felony counts, jail time Count Fartula Vonshitzenpants

@@danielwatson3273 I was about 8 when I first heard of him, in 2016, so I did think of him as a bit of a joke. Then as time went on I learned about him in a more mature and serious way, and now I still recognise him as a joke, but one that can do serious harm.
What a crock of crap .
I don’t believe that happened. He is innocent.
No, he’s guilty, on all charges. Did you not listen?
Are you like other Republicans who believe that Trump is still currently the President of the United States?
America is truly broken, when the world wants his head for a trial in New York for possible accounting errors
Non-attorney guest and correspondent believe in no jail time for Trump... but practicing attorney guest believes there will be jail time. Who do you think is more of an expert on sentencing? I believe the attorney's viewpoint.
Ye Trump keeps publicly insulting the judge.
Why would the judge not send him to the big house.
Whether he serves prison time or not may end up being a political decision.
trump threatened the Judge's daughter and clerk. Also, the same Judge cited trump for Contempt of Court 10x.
Bring a toothbrush Orange Jesus... and maybe some powdered soap.
@@LunaticTheCat how?
The judge making the decision isn't involved in politics, isn't seeking any election votes, isn't a member of any party.
The judge isn't a politician and will just do his job like he always has.
This is a show trial for politcal interference, of course he's going to Jail. This is about optics not justice, fooling low IQ voters.
God the BBC are just foul!! Thank god I don’t pay my license anymore.
Are they talking about Diddy, Epstein, Maxwell etc too?
No they are Democrat donors
This sociopath shows no contrition or remorse and has been disrespectful of the judge and the process throughtout. No other person in the US would be spared jail under the circumstances. The judge needs to show some spine and throw a book at him as he would at anybody else behaving this way.
Justice done like in a banana Republic!!😂
You should know. You support a man who wants to turn the USA into a banana republic. Hey Mr Taliban tally me banana. Daylight come and we need Trump to GO!
What part of the allegation is unfounded or untrue, or do you just disapprove of falsifying business records being a crime?
People call Putin for what he does to his political opponents its just they do things a different way about in America.
It unfolded with the truth come to light and way too many sleepy farts.
Why does the bbc commentator look like he drank too much and just woke up
Because we're not all manic idiots?
Maybe he had drunk too much and had just woken up.
Having no soul will do that to you.. BBC are slimy propaganda pushing rats
Stormzy daniels should be in the Dock charge for taking the bribery trump been set up
@victorlopez-xl5fu: you are the one who woke up drunk. When you sober up, things will be clearer.
What was the crime?
He used campaign funds, but fraudulently tried to hide the payments. That was business fraud. Additionally, the fraud was committed in an attempt to influence the outcome of an election, which adds additional charges.
Disguising "hush money" (intended to hide information that may influence the election from the electorate) payments as legal expenses.
So falsifying records, in order to benefit his campaign is what makes it a felony.
"Falsifying documents with the intent to commit another crime and conceal the commission thereof" there or thereabouts.
Having sex with a pornstar apparently.
fraud
this just sounds very planned why is it that all 34 counts where found why not 25 15 2 1 all 34 it just sounds planned I think
He has been found guilty of all 34 charges because he is very guilty, I don’t think it’s as difficult to understand as you think.
So he committed 34 cases of fraud to hide a 100k payment? Thats like a regular guy committing 34 cases of fraud to hide 35p
Hi
Trump didn't commit a crime. These were federal charges brought in a state court, which is illegal. Further, the statue of limitations applies, and even if there were crimes committed, the time to prosecute has long since been passed. Third, the judge gave Trump unconstitutional gag orders and gave the jury illegal direction regarding the charges. Fourth, the judge failed to refuse himself despite being a registered democrat donor and despite his daughter raising millions for the party. Lastly, the trial was held in the most democrat location of a heavily democrat state, and the jury was composed entirely of democrats who do not want to see Trump run. He's ahead of biden In nearly every poll, and it's impossible for Biden to cheat this time. As a result, he has had to resort to attempting to jail his political opponent. This is how things work in a banana republic, not the US. Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime and as an active duty military member I am desperate for him to return as Commander in Chief.
God, septics are thick as fuck. Thanks for proving it.
What a fool😢😢
oppose those who oppose me, Lord, and fight those who fight against me! Take your shield and armor and come to my rescue.Then I will proclaim your righteousness and I will praise all the day long. They accuse me
God bless America and everywhere
It unfolded the way the way the corrupt judge wanted it to. Nothing more to say.
Imagine if Trump doesn't get to run, nevermind civil unrest, the vast majority will never trust government again.
This is a political persecution
If you can’t do the time…
Conservatives play the victim.
