Former US President Donald Trump was found guilty on May 30th in the first criminal trial of a former president in the nation’s history. This unprecedented verdict brings a unique twist to the upcoming presidential race, as Trump remains a leading candidate despite his felony conviction. The guilty verdict stems from falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments during the 2016 election. Notably, under the US Constitution, the conviction does not disqualify Trump from running for president, and he maintains his eligibility to vote for himself in Florida, where he resides.
