What happens after Trump's conviction? Legal experts break it down

A Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump guilty Thursday on all 34 counts in his New York criminal trial. The guilty verdict in the historic case will have far-reaching consequences for the 2024 presidential election and upend criminal case law in New York, legal experts told Fox News Digital before the conviction.

The charges against Trump in New York were related to alleged payments made ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels about an alleged 2006 extramarital sexual encounter with Trump. Prosecutors needed to convince the jury that not only did Trump falsify the business records related to alleged hush money payments, but that he did so in furtherance of another crime, conspiracy to promote or prevent an election.

If Trump is sentenced to prison, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said the city's Department of Corrections and the Rikers Island facility in New York are 'ready' to receive him. Asked if Trump would be housed by himself or with the general population, a Department of Corrections spokesman said, 'The Department would find appropriate housing for him if he winds up in our custody.' The department did not respond to additional questions.
