On May 30, 2024, former U.S. president Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a jury in The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump. Trump's conviction is the first for a former U.S. president.

## Reactions
### Legal

Lawyer and witness Michael Cohen, who conducted the payments to Stormy Daniels on Trump's behalf, and New York attorney general Letitia James, who led the New York business fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization, supported the verdict.

### Political
#### Democratic Party

Joe Biden campaign communication director Michael Tyler urged voters to prevent Trump from securing the presidency by voting. Biden's campaign Twitter account posted a donation link. Representatives Jerry Nadler, Judy Chu, Eric Swalwell, James Clyburn, Pramila Jayapal, Jamaal Bowman, Adam Schiff, and Bennie Thompson supported the verdict. Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker stated Trump is a "racist, a homophobe, a grifter, and a threat to this country", adding "felon" to the list.

#### Republican Party

House Committee on the Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan, representative Elise Stefanik, and representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a picture of an upside-down American flag. Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham referred to the verdict as a "mockery of justice". Former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy said the verdict would backfire. Former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson stated the "verdict should be respected".
Eight Republican senators announced that they would halt support for president Joe Biden's legislative agenda as retribution for the verdict.

### Public

After Trump's conviction, Reuters reported that there were dozens of calls for violent revenge by Trump supporters on pro-Trump websites Truth Social, Patriots.win and The Gateway Pundit, with various targets for attacks being mentioned, including jurors, the judge, left-wingers, and Democrats. NBC News reported that some online posts had urged for the jurors to be doxed and identified, while the supposed addresses of jurors had been uploaded to an online message board featuring pro-Trump content. Within a week after the verdict, Cohen's family had their personal details doxed online.

### Media

Speaking on Fox News, legal analyst Andrew C. McCarthy and host Jeanine Pirro denounced the verdict. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow stated the jury "deserves to be thanked for their efforts". Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson wrote on Twitter that the verdict marked the "end of the fairest justice system in the world". CNN's Jake Tapper called the verdict an "unbelievable moment in American history" but expressed ambiguity over its consequences.
