Former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of business fraud in a historic first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The trial, which took place in Manhattan federal court, concluded after the first day of jury deliberations. Trump's lead attorney, Todd Blanche, stated that Trump was very involved in his own defense, making every decision together with his legal team. Blanche expressed that they were expecting the guilty verdict and plan to appeal. He also argued that it was difficult for Trump's team to receive a fair trial in the hush money case. Following the conviction, Blanche appeared on multiple media outlets, including Fox News, to defend his client and discuss the case.
