Former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, becoming the first former president in U.S. history to be a convicted felon — but Republicans are spinning the verdict as a strength.
“His base is going to come out even stronger, there’s no question in my mind,” former White House press secretary Sean Spicer told NOTUS.
The Trump campaign has already used the guilty verdict to galvanize fundraising dollars, likely giving Trump a short-term boost and a long-term message as his other trials drag on: that the judicial system is targeting the former president.
