00:07It's a historic ruling. He is the first former US president to be found guilty of a felony.
00:15The defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree
00:23to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.
00:28So, what happens next?
00:30Well, likely a fine. Each charge of falsifying business records faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison.
