| Former US president Trump |
Donald Trump’s criminal conviction presents a remarkable collection of historic firsts.
He’s the first former or serving US president to be found guilty of a crime.
He’s the first presumptive major-party nominee to become a convicted felon as well.
While Trump plans his appeal in the hush-money case and awaits a sentence on 11 July that could in theory include prison time and a hefty fine, it’s not too early to consider the political fallout.
That will be difficult, however, given this has never happened before.
