Summary
Donald Trump is the first former U.S. president to become a convicted felon. The 34-count conviction deals the most striking legal blow yet to a man who dodged criminal scrutiny for decades. Trump’s charges stemmed from bogus reimbursements he made to his then-fixer, Michael Cohen.
“He should’ve never been president the first time around,” said New Yorker Ketih Allen. “He’s a criminal.” Trump also faces three other sets of criminal charges. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing in those other cases.
