Will criminal conviction over hush money cover-up 'undermine and tarnish' Trump's presidential run?

A New York jury convicted Donald Trump on all charges in his hush money case Thursday in a seismic development barely five months ahead of the election where he seeks to recapture the White House. Having been convicted of 34 felonies, Trump cannot own a gun, hold public office or even vote in many states. Trump's conviction in his New York hush money trial is a stunning development in an already unorthodox presidential election with profound implications for the justice system and perhaps US democracy itself. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen and Monte Francis join Pamela Falk a lawyer and New York-based journalist to discuss the historic development.

IQ45: I will win with a jury. IQ45: wah wah wah!!!!!!!!! The jury is rigged.

[@kittjonge]

When your peers find you guilty...

[@joshuagillego9486]

The case is not complicated. When you cooked the books you will be booked!

[@stevebeschakis9775]

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a more virtuous, deserving candidate to vote for, instead of the usual choice between bad and worse?

[@jro4960]

Trump could not even testify in his own defense cuz he so guilty!!

[@Aubury]

Infamy! Infamy, they have all got it infamy.

[@davidcwitkin6729]

I'm actually really upset that former President Trump won't be going to jail. It's not fair!!

[@palehorse6250]

Hasn’t committed any prior crimes?! Are you unaware of the other pending cases against him?! Choose your words… perhaps he hasn’t been CHARGED for any crimes before now. No way has he ‘not’ committed any crimes prior to this.

[@SurfsideSlime]

What crimes is he been convicted for in the past?

[@XxTheAwokenOnexX]

Well done to the jury, and i hope Trump loses his appeals 👍

[@franklinadams7826]

Trump is a shady character and he has finally met his match Democracy

[@frank49erz]

Bogus! What goes around will come around.

[@capitaneaz]

That is an abuse of power, I don’t know why Trump din’t play the 5th, ? ,but he is a big talker, he like to talk, and now he got scrub.

[@stopdeforestation]

I wish you would put mark off camera permanently. He is so effeminate & his voice is so quiet it's difficult to understand him.

[@cheersmodreams691]

Once again more coverage of Trump's comments and no coverage of D.A. Bragg's comments. Kangaroo coverage.

[@capitaneaz]

Talk is ship for this democrats, shame.

[@patrickkinney4998]

And he will win the appeal

[@cosplayshop]

it will be hard because you no longer presume innocents as you are proven guilty. And the process is long, it would have been years before he can appeal, by then the next election would already gone.

[@davidcwitkin6729]

Only because the US Court System is hopelessly corrupt

[@robertjamesonmusic]

Apparently, he has already been denied appeal by the judge

[@SurfsideSlime]

​@@robertjamesonmusic it will go to the supreme Court

[@frank49erz]

Yes! He still will win!!!. It was rigged. Commonsense

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

American citizen jurors saw the evidence. Guilty,all counts. I'm sure every MAGA wants to say thanks, Americans.

[@michaelhayes7469]

Trump is selling crying towels for $999.99. Who's In?
