Arrr mateys! Tis be true that former scallywag President Donald Trump, now a condemned criminal, be facin' the gallows in New York on July 11. The scoundrel's fate be decided just afore the Republican National Convention kicks off in Milwaukee. Aye, what a show that'll be!
Former President Donald Trump, now a convicted felon, will be back in Manhattan court in July for a sentencing hearing just before he is set to be nominated as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. A New York jury found the 77-year-old guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, making him the first president in U.S. history to be convicted of a crime.Trump, calling the trial rigged, claimed the real verdict would come from the people in November. His sentencing is scheduled for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. The verdict has sparked controversy, with Trump Jr. accusing election interference due to the timing.The Republican National Committee and Chairman Michael Whatley criticized the verdict as politically motivated. Prosecutors accused Trump of falsifying business records to conceal hush payments to Stormy Daniels, leading to the felony charges. Despite the conviction, Trump can still run for president, but his campaign will face challenges based on his sentencing outcome.Possible sentences include jail time, probation, or home confinement, impacting his ability to campaign for the White House. The unprecedented situation of a convicted president running for election raises legal uncertainties, as a state conviction prevents self-pardon.
