“We had been waiting for these accusations for two years and the trial lasted five weeks,” explained the Noovo Info collaborator.
Marking American history, he became the first former American president found criminally guilty. Moreover, Mr. Trump faces three other felony charges, but the New York case could be the only one to reach a conclusion before the November election.
According to Mr. Boisvert, this verdict occurs in the “least” serious trial of all. “Having kept state secrets, including nuclear secrets, refusing to hand them over and showing them to other people, it is much more serious,” he said, before adding the other accusations what the ex-president is currently facing.
No former president or presumptive party nominee aspiring to power has ever faced a felony conviction or the prospect of prison time, and Donald Trump is expected to keep his legal troubles at the center of his campaign.
Mr. Boisvert believes that it is a “good way” to mobilize and “seek” political donations from both camps, both Republicans and Democrats. For example, when the verdict was announced, the Republican candidate’s campaign team unleashed a wave of fundraising appeals and allies of the Republican Party rallied to his side.
But, will this conviction influence the vote of Americans for the next election in November? “It’s far from certain,” replied the Noovo Info collaborator on our airwaves. “Six months in politics is an eternity. We’ll see.”
