Thursday, May 30, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 counts by the criminal justice system, a first in American history for a former president. “It’s a shame, this trial was rigged, led by a corrupt judge”, he denounced. The Republican candidate for the next presidential election is found guilty of having concealed payments of $130,000 to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence, a few days before his election to the White House.
Donald Trump’s sentence is not yet known. But, outside, activists are celebrating a historic verdict. “I am relieved, this means that our democracy can still be saved”, confides a woman. The Trumpist supporters cry foul. “It’s sad, but the judges just managed to unite us even more. Ordinary people will see how this man is persecuted”, reacts a man. Donald Trump’s conviction does not prevent him from running in the presidential elections in November 2024. The Republican candidate will receive his sentence on July 11, but already wants to appeal.
