Trump trial live: Former president rages at verdict in historic case - BBC News

Summary

Donald Trump has hit out after being convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York
He's called the verdict a "disgrace" and attacked the judge, and has found the support of fellow Republicans
It is the first time a former or serving US president has been convicted of a crime
He was accused of falsifying business records linked to a hush-money payment made Stormy Daniels, whose alleged sexual encounter with Trump was at the centre of this case
The Biden campaign said the verdict showed that "no-one is above the law", and has urged Americans to make sure Trump doesn't return to the White House
Trump can still run for president despite the convictions. He faces prison when he's sentenced on 11 July - but legal experts say a fine is more likely
He's due to deliver a press conference from Trump Tower at 11:00 EDT on Friday
