Summary
Trump is found guilty in New York.
Just before 5pm on Thursday New York time the airwaves started cracking with news of an imminent verdict. Twenty minutes later the jury in a Manhattan court returned. And pronounced Donald Trump guilty on each one of the 34 counts.
Donald Trump can still run for president. So in one respect this may change nothing.
But let’s not let this moment of history escape - a former and possible future president who is now a convicted felon. What happens to his freedom, his vote and his temper now? And how should the Democrats play it?
Editor: Gabriel Radus
Video Production: Rory Symon

| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents USA podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:09.0 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:12.5 | We are looking at count one, guilty. Count two, guilty. Count three, guilty. Account four, guilty. Count three, guilty. A count four, guilty. Count five, guilty. Those are the first |
| 0:27.0 | five counts coming out of this jury, finding Donald J. Trump guilty on the first five felony counts. |
| 0:34.7 | A former president, a future potential president, and a current Republican |
| 0:40.5 | nominee for president tonight found guilty by a jury of his peers in a Manhattan court. |
| 0:47.5 | This is a moment of history, guilty on all 34 charges. |
| 0:53.7 | There hasn't been a moment like this in American history. |
| 0:58.8 | No former president has ever faced a criminal charge like this. |
| 1:04.4 | But Donald Trump tonight is a convicted felon. |
| 1:09.6 | He was also the first president to be impeached twice, and now he has a criminal |

| 1:47.4 | politicos who think they know the system inside out, most people would have told you that a conviction |
| 1:53.5 | on all counts was highly unlikely. Many were expecting a hung jury, a retrial or the whole case to be thrown out. So this is not just |
| 2:03.9 | unprecedented, but it is in a way highly unexpected. I don't think when we sat there listening |
| 2:12.0 | to each of the 34 counts we ever believed a jury would find him guilty on every single one, did we? |
| 2:20.2 | No, and the crackle of atmosphere in that courtroom, as it was suddenly announced that the jury |
| 2:27.4 | had reached a verdict after only 12 hours of deliberation. And you thought, right, okay, |
