Following Trump's conviction today, the United States Secret Service's chief of communications, Anthony Guglielmi, said in a statement: “Today’s outcome has no bearing on the manner in which the United States Secret Service carries out its protective mission. Our security measures will proceed unchanged.”

Vivek Ramaswamy, the entrepreneur and former GOP presidential contender who is widely seen as a possible vice presidential pick for Trump, blasted the verdict in a post on X, writing that it would "backfire."

He also repeated a misleading talking point about the jury instructions.

Former President Donald Trump could soon join the millions of Americans whose voting rights depend on their criminal records when he is sentenced on 34 felony charges in the hush money case.

But experts say Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is unlikely to be disenfranchised by the felony conviction in the New York case, noting that it would come down to whether he goes to prison as part of his sentence.

All members of the jury had to walk in front of Trump as they left the room after finding him guilty on all 34 counts.

Reactions from Democrats are starting to roll in on social media. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said the jury's verdict "proves what we have known to be true all along — Donald Trump is unfit to serve in any elected office, let alone President of the United States."

"I was proud to lead both impeachments of Donald Trump, and now, I couldn’t be more proud to be a New Yorker now that Manhattan has led the way in convicting him as a felon," Nadler wrote on X.

Similarly, Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., said in a post to X that "our legal system worked as intended," and Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., noted on X that "the rule of law won today."

Trump briefly spoke to cameras outside the courtroom and repeated many of the same comments he's made in the same spot for the last several weeks.

"This was a disgrace," he said. "This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt ... This was a rigged, disgraceful trial."

Trump said the "real verdict will be Nov. 5 by the people."

"I'm a very innocent man," he said. "It’s OK. I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our Constitution."

Trump said the country has "gone to hell" and "we're a divided mess." He said millions of people are pouring into the U.S. from prisons and mental institutions and some are terrorists.

He repeated this was a "rigged decision right from Day One."

"This is far from over," he said, before walking away.

Seated in the courtroom pews behind Trump as the verdict was read were Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt, campaign press aides who, if they enter the courtroom at all, are typically seated in the far back.

Trump has left the courtroom. There were no bail charges for him and he left red, sullen and arms moving at his side.

The former president, speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, decried the trial as "rigged and disgraceful," adding the "real verdict" will come on Election Day in November.
