McALLEN, Texas |...Well, that didn't take long. Republican Donald J. Trump is now a convicted felon after a jury in a New York court found him guilty of messing with business records in connection with hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11th.
Not that it is a great surprise, but many expected the jury to head into next week without a verdict.
It's a moment-in-time for the country.
Trump remains the figurehead leader of the Republican Party and is expected to grab the party's nomination for president at its convention later this summer. The general election takes place on November 5th.
From axios.com: [ Trump said from the Manhattan courthouse after being convicted that "the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people."
"We'll keep fighting and we'll fight to the end and we'll win," Trump said.
Trump's legal team is likely to appeal the verdict, a process that is unlikely to conclude before November. ]
We will update this as developments break...
