Former president calls verdict ‘a disgrace’ after being convicted in New York on all 34 counts of falsifying business records

It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.
