AP news, I'm Ham and Johnny. The jury and Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial has found the former president guilty of all felony counts against him. AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports. Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty of all 34 charges against him in his New York hush money trial. It makes Trump the first former U.S. president convicted of felony crimes. The reaction outside court took the jury only two days to reach the verdicts for falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments. There is the possibility Trump could face prison time as he is trying to return to the White House. We'll keep fighting. We'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country has gone to hell. We don't have the same country anymore. We haven't divided mess. The falsifying business records charges carry up to four years behind bars, but prosecutors have not said whether they intend to push for prison time. This is long from offer. Thank you very much. I'm Ed Donahue. Judge Juan Roshan has set Donald Trump's sentencing for July 11th. It's just days before Republicans are set to select him as their 2024 nominee. Trump spoke to reporters while exiting. This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. There's a rigged trial in disgrace. It wouldn't give us a venue change. This was a rigged disgraceful trial that the real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people. Trump also mentioned that he'll keep fighting. I think it's just a disgrace and we'll keep fighting. We'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country has gone to hell. We don't have the same country anymore. We haven't divided mess. We're nation and decline. Serious decline. This is AP News. U.S. and Britain strike Houthi targets in Yemen in the fifth combined operation since January against Iran-backed group.
