Convicted former President Donald Trump is scheduled to have a sentencing hearing in a Manhattan court in July, just days before he is set to run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
A New York jury on Thursday found the 77-year-old former president guilty of all 34 felony counts of first-degree falsifying business records brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Trump’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention, which will be held July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
