So far, Trump has been found guilty of 11 out of the 34 charges. This case has notably impacted his re-election campaign, in which he is competing against Joe Biden, who also seeks to retain the presidency.

Donald Trump Rejects Verdict and Accuses Biden of "Rigged Trial"

"It's a rigged trial, a disgrace, nothing has changed. The real verdict will come on November 5 from the people; they know what happened here," Trump stated after hearing the verdict, making him the first president to be declared guilty.

He also reiterated his innocence and took the opportunity to accuse the Biden administration of rigging the trial against him: "to harm a political opponent, we continue to work to win," he emphasized.

In his statement, upon facing the media who awaited him due to the trial's magnitude, Trump also accused the judge handling his case of being in conflict by delivering this verdict.

Experts suggest that Trump's defense can still appeal the case. The sentence will be announced on July 11 at 10:00 am, determining his legal situation—whether he must go to prison or can remain free during the process.
