Trump was found guilty on all counts. What comes next?

After a trial that lasted 21 days and a deliberation that took less than ten hours, a Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 criminal felony counts of falsifying business records.

Trump says he will appeal the charges, but there are still implications for him, and his ongoing presidential campaign for the 2024 election.

So what grounds does Trump have to appeal these charges? And how long could it take to play out? Attorney and NYU law professor Andrew Weissmann joins Ari Shapiro to map out what the next phase of the Trump trial will look like.

Closing arguments for Trump's trial have been made. What now?

Nearly two dozen witnesses and 21 days of court later, Donald Trump's New York hush money trial is coming to a close.

Twelve New Yorkers have been listening to witnesses like adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen.

Today, those jurors heard closing arguments, first from the defense, and then the prosecution. Now, they have to determine whether Trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged affair with Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

What final impressions did the closing arguments leave, and what could that mean for Donald Trump?

The US Supreme Court on April 23, 2024, in Washington, DC. The Court will hear arguments on April 25, 2024, on whether Donald Trump, as a former president, should be immune from criminal prosecution for acts he committed while in office.

Trump is arguing for immunity in his criminal case. Will the Supreme Court agree?

One of Richard Nixon's most famous quotes...right up there with "I am not a crook"... had to do with presidential immunity.

"When the president does it" he said "that means that it is not illegal." That idea – that you can't prosecute someone for actions taken as president - the Supreme Court has never actually ruled on it.

On Thursday, the Justices will take a crack, with the federal election interference case against former president Donald Trump hanging in the balance.

We preview how things might go.
