Former president Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges on Thursday for falsifying business records, but legal experts say the case is far from settled – and unlikely to wrap up before the November election.
Speaking outside the courthouse on Thursday, Trump proclaimed, “This is far from over.”
A lengthy appeals process is likely to begin very soon, says Zack Smith, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Florida and a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
