Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.
From CNN:
Seems like a long delay, is that typical in a high profile case like this?
He has another trial in Florida they had to schedule around.
Its weird that thats going on again, what happened to the indefinite suspension?
Well, you see, he’s got money and a few like-minded friends…
