A New York jury has convicted former President Donald Trump on all charges in his hush money case, making him the first US president to be convicted of a crime. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. The verdict comes just five months ahead of the presidential election, where Trump seeks to recapture the White House. Despite the conviction, Trump is still eligible to campaign and run for office, as the US Constitution only requires presidents to be at least 35 years old and natural-born US citizens. Sentencing is set for July 11.
