Donald Trump, the first US president to be convicted of a crime, announced his plan to appeal the guilty verdict after his sentencing on July 11. Despite complaints of a rigged trial to sabotage his White House comeback, Trump vowed to challenge the decision.
President Joe Biden responded to Trump’s claims, calling them reckless and irresponsible. The New York hush money case, deemed the weakest by legal experts, ended in a surprising conviction. Trump faces more serious charges in Washington and Georgia related to election subversion.
Trump’s campaigns remain unaffected by the legal battles, including the Florida case over hoarding classified documents. While he cannot pardon himself in the New York case if elected president, the other trials facing him may be delayed due to legal complexities and appeals processes.
Despite the challenges, Trump’s bid for the White House in November continues as he faces off against Biden in a high-stakes rematch.
