Some Democrats took a victory lap over the unprecedented conviction of former President Donald Trump on May 30.

After more than 11 hours of deliberation, 12 jurors reached the unanimous verdict in the case at Manhattan Criminal Court, convicting the presumptive GOP presidential nominee on 34 first-degree counts of falsifying business records related to a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
