On Thursday, the verdict was returned in Donald Trump's hush trial.
Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, becoming the first U.S. president to be convicted.
The charges stem from allegations that Trump paid $130,000 in hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election and knowingly described the payment in a fraudulent manner.
After the verdict, President Trump told reporters outside the court: “This is a disgrace. “This was a trial rigged by a conflicted and corrupt judge.”
Despite the conviction, President Trump said he would still run for president, noting that the “real verdict” would be made “by the people” in November.
He continued: “They know what happened here, everyone knows what happened here. “We will fight until the end.”
Trump's sentencing date is set for July 11.
Celebrities like Kathy Griffin, Patton Oswalt, Ellen Barkin and Jon Cryer took to social media to react to the verdict.
Kathy called Trump “horrible” and wrote “TEARS OF JOY” on the X.
Patton wrote: “Abraham Lincoln and now Stormy Daniels. “Two Porn Stars Stepping Out to Save America When History Calls.”
“Oh my god,” Jon wrote.
Stephen King wrote, “The Republican presidential candidate is a convicted felon.”

We should refer to him as 34 years old instead of 45 years old.

Looking back, I'm glad I decided not to drink whenever they said I was guilty. Because I couldn't make dinner.
