Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to reveal whether prosecutors will seek a prison sentence for former President Donald Trump after a guilty verdict was returned on May 30.

“While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history, we arrived today at this trial and ultimately this verdict in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors,” he said at a press conference held hours after jurors convicted the former president.
