News,Us,Ny

Though he has been convicted, a lot of what's at stake in Trump's hush money trial depends on his sentencing, which won't come until July 11.

Former President Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts on Thursday, found guilty of falsifying business records to make a hush money payment to a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.Though he has been convicted, a lot of what's at stake depends on his sentencing, which won't come until July 11. Trump's punishment could come in the form of fines and restitution, but probation and prison time are also possibilities, though they will likely be avoided.

Legal experts also say it's "highly unlikely" that Trump will get jail time, given Judge Merchan's previous comments. Plus, there's no law prohibiting a felon from becoming the U.S. President, as the Constitution only requires presidents be natural-born U.S. citizens, at least 35 years old, and have lived in the country for at least 14 years.Trump will still be able to vote, however he could lose his right to own a firearm, according to the federal Gun Control Act.
