Donald Trump's guilty statement on 34 counts, all you need to know

Now is the time of the prison sentence and the possibility. A long complaint process. And at the same time, the expected Republican candidate for president must continue to face three other criminal cases and the electoral campaign, at the end of which, there is a possibility that he will return to the top of the White House.

The jury in Manhattan found Mr. Trump guilty of counterfeiting the documents, as part of a scheme to influence the 2016 elections, hiding a fee against a porn film actress who says she had an intimate relationship with the former president.

Trump told reporters it was The innocent “”.

Some of the key elements to consider after the jury's decision.

Donald Trump's fateful announcement of 34 criminal acts marks the end of the historic criminal process against the former president, but the battle for the case continues.

When is the penalty set? The judge announced he will declare the verdict on July 11th, just days before the Republicans officially elect him as presidential candidate.

Mr. Trump's right to vote: He can be punished and settled in Florida, but he can still vote as long as he's not in jail in New York State.

Will Mr. Trump's sentence affect the presidential election? It remains unclear whether his guilty plea for criminal acts will affect voters.

BU RIM?

The big question now posed is whether Trump can be imprisoned. The answer is unknown. Judge Juan Merchan announced that the conviction measure would be pronounced on 11 July, just days before the Republican National Assembly, where Trump is expected to officially declare the Republican Party's presidential candidate.

The fraud charge of business data is one of the easiest criminal acts in the state of New York. This work envisions a sentence of up to four years in prison, although the penalty ultimately rests with the judge and there is no guarantee that he can decide that Mr. Trump will stand behind bars.

Other measures of punishment may include fine or parole. There is also the possibility that the judge will allow Mr. Trump no measure of punishment until the entire ruling appeals process is complete.

Punishment doesn't stop Trump from continuing his campaign. The wife of the son of former President Trump, Lara Trump, who is co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, said in an interview on Fox News on Thursday that if Mr. Trump is sentenced and sentenced to house arrest, he would virtually do electoral gatherings and other meetings under the campaign.

MUS HELP FOR THE PEASE

After Mr. Trump is convicted, he may object to the sentence at the appeal court and possibly at the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump's lawyers have already laid the groundwork for appeal, countering charges and decisions during the criminal trial.

Mr. Trump's lawyers have accused Judge Juan Manuel Merchan of bias, citing the fact that his daughter runs a company whose clients, among other things, were President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats. The judge rejected the defence request to leave the case, expressing confidence in the “ability to be fair and impartial”.

Lawyers may appeal the judge's decision to limit the testimony of an expert.

Mr. Trump's lawyers wanted to call to witness Bradley A. Smith, a law professor whom former President Bill Clinton appointed to Federal Election Commission (FEC). The defence was intended to undermine the prosecution's claim that the payments were made in violation of laws to fund election campaigns.

But in the end, the defense side did not call him to testify after Judge Merchan decided that Mr. Smith could provide information about the Federal Election Commission, but he was not allowed to interpret how election campaign financing laws relate to the facts of the court's process to Mr. Trump, or to give any opinion, whether the actions the former president is accused of may have violated these laws or not.

The defence may also argue that jury members were improperly allowed to hear evidence from pornographic actress Stormy Daniels about the alleged intimate relationship with Mr. Trump in 2006. / VOA
