The former US president could be jailed for up to four years and faces thousands of dollars in fines.

Trump was found guilty of falsifying 34 business records to cover up a hush-money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels.

Speaking after the verdict was delivered, Trump told reporters outside the New York court house that he is a “very innocent man”.

He added: “I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now.

“This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt a political opponent. And I think it’s a just a disgrace.”

The 77-year-old – who refused to testify in his own defence – is the first criminally convicted US president.

During the six-week trial, 22 witnesses including Daniels gave evidence.

The former president is set to be sentenced on July 11 – days before the start of the Republican National Convention on July 15.
