But, according to Tyler, "The threat Trump posed to our democracy has never been greater." 

Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. 

The verdict marks the first time any U.S. president has ever been convicted of a crime. 

"Boom," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said in a brief post to X, formerly Twitter.

"Guilty. Today, 12 ordinary American citizens found a former president guilty of dozens of felonies. Despite his efforts to distract, delay, and deny – justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And the rule of law prevailed," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is currently running for a Senate seat.

Top Biden surrogate Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., wrote on X, "The jury has spoken. Justice has prevailed."

While the president's campaign welcomed the verdict, the Biden White House counsel spokesperson Ian Sams was more apprehensive, stating only, "We respect the rule of law, and have no additional comment."
