Trump"},"content":{"rendered":"

A handful of winners and losers have emerged following the unprecedented trial of former President Trump that found him guilty on all counts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump was found guilty on all counts Thursday after the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office charged him with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump pleaded not guilty and has maintained his innocence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are some of the winners and losers following the verdict who were involved in or surrounded the case after six weeks of court proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WINNER: DISTRICT ATTORNEY\u2019S OFFICE\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prosecutors in District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s office finished the Trump trial victorious with the jury finding Trump guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I did my job. Our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor. And that\u2019s exactly what we did here. And what I feel is gratitude to work alongside phenomenal public servants who do that each and every day in matters that you all write about. \u2026 I did my job. We did our job. Many voices out there. The only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. And the jury has spoken,\u2019 Bragg said Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The 12 everyday jurors vowed to make a decision based on the evidence and the law, and the evidence and the law alone. Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election,\u2019 Bragg continued in the press conference, adding that such white collar crimes are at the \u2018core to what we do at the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The office, however, did face widespread condemnation from conservatives who argued the case should never have been brought in the first case, especially amid the 2024 presidential election when Trump is leading in many polls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WINNER: DONALD TRUMP\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Though Trump was found guilty on all counts, his base has apparently not been swayed by the trial. Google searches for \u2018Donald Trump donation site\u2019 spiked when the verdict was announced, while campaign donation site WinRed experienced an outage. The campaign is anticipated to receive a windfall following the verdict Trump slammed as \u2018disgraceful.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Very disappointed, I wanted him to be acquitted,\u2019 a male Trump supporter told Fox News Digital outside the courtroom.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just very sad. I wish this case had not been brought.\u2019<\/p>\n

Additionally, a recent New York Times poll, which was released amid the trial, found Trump is leading Biden in a majority of key battleground states, including, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona.<\/p>\n

WINNER: DEMOCRATS\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Democratic Party and its lawmakers took a victory lap following Trump\u2019s guilty verdict, including President Biden\u2019s re-election campaign touting: \u2018In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today\u2019s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president,\u2019 Biden campaign spokesperson Michael Tyler said in a post-verdict statement.<\/p>\n

Other Democrats who frequently tussle with Trump and Republicans, such as Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff who said that \u2018despite his efforts to distract, delay, and deny \u2013 justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It matters that the Republican nominee for president is a convicted criminal,\u2019 Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. posted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Boom,\u2019 Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said in a brief post to X.<\/p>\n

LOSER: LEGAL SYSTEM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Lawfare\u2019 became a top word punted around by legal experts amid the case, with Trump himself arguing that the Biden administration promoted the case in a bid to hurt his chances of reclaiming the White House come November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Bragg\u2019s scheme was to manipulate the legal system by bringing specious criminal charges to damage or delegitimize Trump\u2019s candidacy for president.\u00a0 It is classic \u2018lawfare\u2019 \u2014weaponizing statutes not because the law has been broken but because the accused poses a political threat,\u2019 Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett wrote in an opinion piece published by Fox Digital this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jarrett\u2019s comments echo what many other legal experts have said throughout the trial: lawfare is at play, and the case has thus damaged the legal system overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We see a legal system that is really disassembling, that is devolving,\u2019 Turley said on Fox News when addressing the \u2018selective prosecution\u2019 of Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018One of the things that is also in jeopardy right now is our judicial branch, and it\u2019s our system of government itself. And I don\u2019t think we can say often enough here, how much that has been abused under this administration with local prosecutors, state prosecutors, and at the federal level, who are using lawfare,\u2019 Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a press conference outside of the Manhattan courtroom earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik also filed an ethics complaint against presiding Judge Juan Merchan for an alleged conflict of interest related to his daughter\u2019s role representing Democrat politicians and political action committees. And sent another letter to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Office of the Inspector General of the New York State Unified Court System, warning of \u2018potential misconduct\u2019 regarding Merchan\u2019s repeated assignments to cases involving Trump or his allies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018One cannot help but suspect that the \u2018random selection\u2019 at work in the assignment of Acting Justice Merchan, a Democrat Party donor, to these cases involving prominent Republicans, is in fact not random at all,\u2019 Stefanik wrote in the letter.<\/p>\n

LOSER: DONALD TRUMP<\/h2>\n

Trump\u2019s guilty verdict could land the 45th president behind bars, or he could even be sentenced to home confinement. Trump could still run for the White House from behind bars, as the Constitution does not place restrictions on presidential candidates based on criminal record. It stipulates that those pursuing the White House be natural-born citizens who are at least 35 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 45th president will be sentenced on July 11, which is just four days before the Republican National Convention kicks off in Milwaukee that month. Trump vowed Thursday to \u2018fight till the end\u2019 after the \u2018rigged, disgraceful trial.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018This was a rigged, disgraceful trial. The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people,\u2019 Trump said outside the court Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018This was a rigged decision right from day one. With a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case. Never. And we will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

LOSER: ROBERT DE NIRO\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Actor Robert De Niro faced backlash at the tail end of the trial when he headlined a Biden-Harris campaign event in Manhattan, where he claimed in public remarks that Trump could \u2018destroy the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. And eventually he could destroy the world,\u2019 De Niro said at the press conference this week. President Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris were present during the campaign event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his remarks, De Niro was shouted down by supporters as a \u2018washed-up actor,\u2019 \u2018trash,\u2019 and accused of being a \u2018paid actor for the DNC.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019re a f\u2013king idiot,\u2019 De Niro shouted at one of the pro-Trump protesters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The event was subsequently slammed on social media by critics as a \u2018terrible look for Democrats,\u2019 and compared to satirical political comedy show \u2018Veep.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018\u200b\u200bThis was so over-the-top as to simply be useless. And what a stupid mistake on the part of the Biden campaign. More reason why Democratic leaders are probably going to be concerned that he\u2019s the likely nominee of their party,\u2019 Fox News contributor Karl Rove previously said of De Niro\u2019s comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
