Trump found guilty on all counts in criminal trial

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The former US President Donald Trump has been found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a pay-off to a porn star during his 2016 election campaign. It's the first time in US history that a former or serving president has been convicted of a criminal offence. He will be sentenced on the 11th of July. Trump called it a shameful day in US history. US President Joe Biden has reportedly agreed to Ukraine firing American weapons into Russian territory, but only on the Kharkiv border where the Russian military is gathering forces. And another Conservative MP says he'll back the Labour Party at the election, Mark Logan MP for Bolton North East says only Labour can "bring back optimism into British life".
