Donald Trump becomes first former US president to be criminally convicted - Sky News coverage

Watch live from New York as Donald Trump is found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to hush money payments to the porn star Stormy Daniels.

The jury's foreperson held a firm tone of voice as they delivered the verdicts.

Reporters in court said Trump himself did not really change his demeanour outside of looking down.

America is seen around the world as a banana republic.

The world is laughing at the usa right now 😂😂😂😂😂😂

So many government officials would be criminally convicted if they were under the same amount of scrutiny. Convicted for paying hush money and cooking his books - I'm sure no one else in government has done that! What a joke.

After EPSTEIN and Co. AND JULIAN ASANGE WE KNOW IF SOMEONE FACES TRIAL IT'S BECAUSE SOMEONE IN POWER WISHES IT SO

I hope people realise that this would all have been forgotten about if he wasn’t running for office.

[cubezful]

Does anyone actually believe this has anything to do with justice...

[iainrobertson]

This will backfire and backfire real bad

[BENYS]

In this country they give more value to hate than to the truth. disappointing.

[lunatunauk]

Anyone who thinks he'd ever get a fair trial is kidding themselves.

[NiskaMagnusson]

whilst I believe Trump is perfectly capable of everything he's accused of I can't help but find the timing incredibly convenient for the opposition...

[pamelagiblin]

It wasn’t the jury’s decision to determine whether it would affect the election. Just if he was guilty.

[gusgone]

It's time for right minded people to take back their republic.

[garyx]

i really hope America dont fall for this political witch hunt

[bjdbogz]

They were always going to find him guilty anyway

[seanhanlon]

Load of rubbish he should appeal and have it all dropped, such a farce

[terryjones]

Just the beginning of an American fighting man in his beliefs. Let Go Brandon!!

[AOD_AnkGrooger]

Russia: Imprisons political opponents.

America: Imprisons political opponents.


How are these two any different any more?

[jamtarts]

Everyone of those crooks could be found guilty of the exact same crime!

[Dave_H]

It will be overturned on appeal while his poll numbers will soar.

[David-bwis]

They've already said he probably won't go to prison, and will still run for President, so in other words all of this was one big waste of money, in fact it would not surprise me if this backfires on the Democrats and he becomes more popular than he already is.
