RFK Jr. Speaks Out on Donald Trump Conviction

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy has condemned Donald Trump's conviction following his high-profile hush money criminal trial.

On Thursday, Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment. The former president was accused of arranging shortly before the 2016 election for his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about a sexual encounter she alleges she had with Trump.

The money was listed in the Trump Organization's records as "legal fees," which prosecutors said was part of an unlawful attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 race. Trump had admitted to reimbursing Cohen for the Daniels payment but denied all wrongdoing, saying the criminal trial was part of a political witch hunt aimed at derailing his White House bid. He also denied Daniels' allegation about the encounter.

After being convicted, Trump said outside of the New York City courtroom: "This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt."
