NEW YORK—Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, as a jury of 12 unanimously returned their verdict on May 30 after less than two days of deliberation. With this result, President Trump becomes the first ever American president to be convicted of a crime.
As the verdicts were read, President Trump sat still, appearing stoic, and looked straight ahead.
President Trump’s attorney has previously vowed to appeal a conviction expeditiously.

First Lady Jill Biden said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that we will “lose all of our rights” if another Republican is confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Sara Haines said, “Women are likely to play a crucial role in November and we’ve heard bragging about stripping women’s reproductive rights, 14 states have a total ban on abortion, and now IVF is under attack. How dangerous a time is this for women, and how much worse could it get in a second or third as you mentioned Trump presidency?”
Biden said, “It could get a lot worse under a Trump presidency. I mean,

Donald Trump becomes the first ever former President of the United States to be convicted of a crime.
A unanimous New York jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of illegally trying to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to stifle a sex scandal that he feared would derail his 2016 presidential campaign only days before America went to the polls.
Paying the hush money was not in itself illegal but the prosecution successfully argued that it was designed to influence the outcome of the election — a violation of election laws and, argued the prosecutors, the underlying crime.

Former president Donald Trump was convicted on Thursday by a New York jury on 34 felony charges for falsifying business records, making him the first president in U.S. history to become a convicted felon.
Over the past six weeks at the state courthouse in lower Manhattan, the prosecution sought to demonstrate that Trump, his former fixer and attorney Michael Cohen, and National Enquirer publisher David P* participated in a conspiracy to defraud voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election by paying off women to conceal embarrassing stories about the then-presidential candidate’s sexual history without properly recording those payments as campaign-finance expenses.

Robert De Niro doesn't care about the Donald Trump 'haters' who 'spewed vulgarities' at him - and isn't worried that his absolute loyalty to President Joe Biden will stop him getting any more jobs at age 80.
The acclaimed movie star was heckled by Trump's loyal supporters earlier this week while he was making a speech against the former President outside of the 77-year-old's hush money criminal trial in New York City.
Now, a source has told DailyMail.com exclusively that Robert has no plans to 'stand down' and will 'continue to fight for his convictions.'

Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden announced a new ceasefire proposal to keep Hamas in power and vowed the American taxpayer will pay to rebuild the Gaza Strip. Five Americans are still being held hostage by the Iranian backed terrorist organization. "In phase three a major reconstruction plan for Gaza would commence," Biden said. "The United States will work without partners to rebuild homes, schools and hospitals in Gaza -- to repair communities destroyed in the chaos of war."

Most thought that Robert De Niro’s “performance” in the title role as Dirty Grandpa, where he played a lecherous, unhygienic, and maniacal grandfather, was his worst.
But De Niro managed the seemingly impossible by stooping deeper into the bowels of self-humiliation that made Dirty Grandpa seem like Citizen Kane. This is when he had myriad unhinged foulmouthed public outbursts and made violent threats at various events.
His target was democratically-elected President Donald Trump. De Niro’s utterances once again proved that profanity is the last resort of the vacuous. As expected, the madness was cheered in the liberal echo chambers of Hollywood and D.C.
One of Joe Biden’s handlers was obviously

Retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is leaving the Democratic Party and has formally registered in his state as an independent, stoking speculation he may run for elected office again in November.
“Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said in a statement issued shortly after West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval broke the news. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.”

Either you’re willing to jail Democrats on the same terms they’re using to jail Trump, or you’re merely controlled opposition.
The conviction of former President Donald Trump on manufactured charges in a Stalinist show trial this week marks a crossroads for the Republican Party. From now on, the civil war inside the GOP will be between those who understand they must do to Democrats what Democrats have done to Trump, and those who think they can trundle along with business as usual.

Century-old Joshua trees in the California desert will be cleared to make way for clean energy. The 2,300-acre solar project is going up near near Boron, in Southern California, according to the Los Angeles Times. The area of Kern County from which the project is slated has a poverty rate twice that of the state’s average. The solar farm will generate intermittent power for 180,000 homes in wealthier coastal neighborhoods. Besides the destruction of old trees, the residents living near the project say county and state officials who approved the project have ignored their other concerns about construction dust and impacts to endangered desert tortoises have been ignored

President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use US supplied-weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” one of the officials said.

It was Christmas in May for Hollywood celebrities after a jury in deep blue New York City voted to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his business records case.
While an appeal is a certainty — “This is far from over,” Trump said following the verdict — the stars nevertheless rushed to celebrate the case, which was brought by Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D), who was present in the courtroom on Thursday.“Tears of joy,” an emotional Kathy Griffin wrote.
“God Bless New York City!!!” an ecstatic Ellen Barkin tweeted.
