▼ + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Former President Donald Trump angrily denounced his criminal hush money trial in rambling remarks Friday, a day after a New York jury convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump called the case "very unfair" as he cycled through many of his previously voiced criticisms of trial judge Juan Merchan, the prosecutors, witnesses, and the charges in Manhattan Supreme Court. "These are bad people," Trump told reporters at Trump Tower, where he launched his first Republican presidential campaign nine years earlier. "It should never be allowed to happen in the future, but this is far beyond me. "This is bigger than Trump, this is bigger than me, this is bigger than my presidency."

President Joe Biden on Friday called former President Donald Trump's reaction to his conviction in New York on criminal hush money charges "reckless" and "dangerous."

The "rain metaphor," as the jury note called it, is often used by judges in jury instructions.

It was an end like no other for a trial like no other: a former American president found guilty of 34 felonies. The former president and the presumptive Republican nominee was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a scheme to cover up an extramarital tryst with a porn star, Stormy Daniels, in 2006. That encounter — which the former president denied — led to a $130,000 hush-money payment whose concealment gave rise to the 34 counts of falsifying business records that made Mr. Trump a felon. Mr. Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11; he has indicated he will appeal. Here are five takeaways from the last day of Mr. Trump’s momentous trial.
