Initially it was looking like today's Trump trial in Manhattan would wrap up with the jury needing another day to deliberate. Then came some sudden news:
VERDICT
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) May 30, 2024
A Manhattan jury has found former president and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump guilty on all 34 of Alvin Bragg's felony charges, giving Democrats what they've been after for so long: A Trump felony conviction. For now, that is.
Trump has previously vowed to appeal if a guilty verdict came down.
We'll update this story (and have more stories) as more details become available.
Update:
Jonathan Turley, who was in the courtroom today, confirmed the verdicts:
Guilty on all counts.

Most legal experts not counting the ones who are leftist enought to appear on MSNBC regularly believe this will be overturned on appeal.
UPDATE:
Leaving the courthouse, Trump responded this way:

UPDATE II:
This isn't particularly surprising considering the partisan nature of the judge:
NEW YORK (AP) — Judge has set Donald Trump's sentencing for July 11, just days before Republicans are set to select him as 2024 nominee.
