What A Day

Trump, Guilty As Charged. Now What?

<p>Guilty, guilty, guilty. A Manhattan jury on Thursday found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony charges in his criminal hush-money trial. Trump was accused of falsifying business records in a scheme to cover up payments he made to the adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The verdict makes Trump the first U.S. president to be tried and convicted of felony crimes. Diana Florence, a former federal prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, explains what’s next for Trump now that he’s a convicted felon. Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer weighs in on what the verdict means for both Trump and President Joe Biden’s campaigns.</p><p>Show Notes:</p>Dan Pfeiffer's newsletter - The Message Box-  <a href="http://www.messageboxnews.com/" target="_blank">www.messageboxnews.com</a>What A Day – YouTube – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast</a>Follow us on Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/</a>For a transcript of this episode, please visit <a href="http://crooked.com/whataday" target="_blank">crooked.com/whataday</a>
