‘Trump Has a Frowned Expression on His Face’ and ‘Is Not Moving’: Ex-President Reacts to Being Found Guilty on All Counts
Former President Donald Trump had a “frowned expression on his face” as a New York jury handed down its guilty verdict in his criminal case.
The jury found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments he arranged to cover up extramarital affairs ahead of the 2016 election.
CNN’s Jake Tapper relayed the verdict on each of the 34 counts. After the roll had been called, he reported that Trump appeared very displeased with the results.
“An unbelievable moment in American history,” Tapper said. “Trump has a frowned expression on his face as the verdict reading is completed. He is not moving. The former president of the United States, now a convicted felon, having been found guilty of 34 felony charges by a jury of his peers in Manhattan, New York. The court officer has asked if either party wants the jury polled. Trump attorney Todd Blanche says, ‘Yes.’ This is when they go around and ask each juror if they agree with what has just been read by the foreperson. The jurors all have straight faces. They are now being polled.”
Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
