Former US President Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 counts in a hush money case, marking him as the first sitting or former president in the United States to be a convicted felon.
Amid concerns of political violence, Trump has warned that jailing him could be a 'breaking point' for his supporters, suggesting a potential public revolt. In a Fox News interview, Trump refused to clarify whether he would use the Justice Department to target political opponents if reelected, while also falsely claiming he never supported 'lock her up' chants against Hillary Clinton.
This conviction and Trump's subsequent comments have highlighted the deep divisions within the American political landscape, with November 5 being described as a potentially pivotal day in US history.
