Former US President Donald Trump was found guilty by the jury of all 34 criminal charges he was facing.

Donald Trump is accused of falsifying business records in connection with money given to porn star Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election.

As she claims, she was bribed in order not to reveal the former president’s former relationship with her.

The Republican former president, who is campaigning ahead of the Nov. 5 election to return to the White House, remained stoic, shoulders hunched, in the hearing room after the verdict was read.

“It’s a shame what’s happening, I’m innocent and I’ll keep fighting until the end,” was the statement he made as he left the court. He also said that the “true verdict” will be read on November 5—the day of the US presidential election.

As it became known, the sentences will be announced on July 11, just a few days before the announcement of his candidacy for the presidential elections.

Judge Juan Mercan, who presided over Donald Trump’s criminal trial, has scheduled his sentencing for July 11 at 10:00 a.m. (local time; 5:00 p.m. Greek time) in a New York court.

At the same time, he gave the defense until June 13 to present its arguments in view of the sentencing and until June 27 for the prosecution to respond.

Trump could face up to four years in prison, though he is certain to appeal, a process that could take years.

White House: “We respect the law. No other comments”

The White House “respects the law” and will make “no further comment,” a spokesman for the US presidency said after the verdict in Donald Trump’s criminal trial.

“No one is above the law,” commented Joe Biden’s campaign team.

Democratic President Joe Biden, Donald Trump’s opponent in this year’s election, has so far not personally commented. He spent yesterday with his family as it is the anniversary of his eldest son’s death nine years ago.

Mike Johnson: ‘Shameful day in American history’

The Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, spoke of a “shameful day in American history.”

“Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats are celebrating the conviction of the leader of the opposing party on ludicrous charges, substantiated by the testimony of a felony conviction expunged from the bar. This is a purely political process, not a legal one,” Mr. Johnson emphasized.
