We finally have a verdict. In a surreal culmination of his six-week criminal hush money trial, Donald Trump was found guilty Thursday on all 34 counts, making him the first US president to ever become a convicted felon. “Trump remained motionless as the jury foreman read out ‘guilty’ to all the charges he faced in the case,” Dan Adler [reported]( from inside the courtroom. The former president’s sentencing hearing, which could include [jail time](, has been set for July 11, just a week before the Republican National Convention. Elsewhere, Chris Smith [sees]( steep challenges for Senator Jacky Rosen’s reelection bid in Nevada, where her political affiliation with Joe Biden might be a big burden due to shifting voter demographics. Plus, Tom Kludt [catches]( escalating tensions over the fate of TNT’s Inside the NBA, whose host Charles Barkley unloaded on the chief of Warner Bros. Discovery for leaving the show in the lurch.
