Summary

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America, has made history as the first president to become a convicted felon. Found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York, Trump is expected to be sentenced on July 11th, and questions surrounding how this could affect his presidential campaign are now sharply relevant. Piers Morgan brings journalist Emily Matlis, Young Turks cohost Cenk Uygyr, former Congressman George Santos, podcaster Vincent Oshana, lawyer Michael Van Der Veen and Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton to react to this landmark ruling. Can Trump run for president now? If he wins can he serve from prison? What will his supporters do? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
