How did Donald Trump react to his criminal trial verdict? | BBC News

Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York. 

He will be sentenced on 11 July and could face prison. It is the first time a former or serving US president has been convicted of a crime.

 He is accused of concealing a payment made by his former lawyer to buy the ex-adult film star’s silence shortly before the 2016 election.

Trump pleaded not guilty and called the verdict a "disgrace".

The BBC's Kayla Epstein, who was inside the court, describes what Trump did after the guilty verdict was read in the New York courtroom.

How did he react? The way he always does, crying and whining. He will soon be groveling for money.

[goodday]

Same way he does whenever he gets caught doing anything else illegal. By just denying it, calling the system rigged, calling the judge corrupt (or racist if he/she's black) and then immediately going off to grift his gormless base into paying for all his lawyer fees.

[messrsandersonco]

He didn't move because he was in shock. The thing about narcissists is that they never have a plan B because they think they can never be wrong!

Hey, guys remember when the Republican party was the party of personal responsibility and the rule of law.







Oh, you guys don't, yeah me neither.

[PavlovsDog-klmo]

He whined like a little 78 year old baby of course.

We all know how Trump reacts, always complaining and insulting people because if things don't go his way then... this happens.

The BBC saids it like the Jury had no choice but to convict Donald Trump

[HelHathNoFury]

Trump didn't hear "Guilty" 34 times. He heard "LOSER." And that's far worse...and better.

[Heathbarbcrunch]

Can’t imagine hearing a jury convict me on all 34 counts if I were trump. He must be devastated

[carlosifer]

Crooked Trump 😂
No one is above the law

[GSauce]

What a joke LOL I am going to save it and watch it again in a couple of years.

[UltraPerception]

what more do we wanna know.
lol dont upset them any more than it already is heart breaking for them

[gorillachen]

President election of greatest country in the world: Two aged men + one is crazy. It becomes a greatest democratic joke of the world.😂

To me, Harris is a more proper one to be a president.

[BrianKnieling]

lol lots of key witness weren’t called? Why didn’t you call them? Shit you could have even testified yourself. Obviously a prosecutor isn’t going to call people that don’t back their case.
