Trump Was Convicted. Then He Appointed His Defense Lawyer as Deputy Attorney General.

Before the verdict there was a question no court had ever answered. Can a former president be criminally charged and tried? An appellate court ruled unanimously — yes. And then a jury of twelve ordinary New Yorkers proved it.
On May 30 2024 Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The jury deliberated for just nine and a half hours. Every count. Unanimous. The first criminal conviction of a former US president in history.
But here is what most people are not putting together. On January 10 2025 — ten days before Trump was sworn in for his second term — Judge Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge. No jail. No fines. No probation. The 34 felony convictions stayed on his record. Trump became the first criminal convict ever to occupy the Oval Office.
And the attorney who defended him against those 34 charges — Todd Blanche — was appointed by Trump as Deputy Attorney General of the United States. The second highest law enforcement official in the country.
The jury did their job. This breakdown covers the verdict, what the analysts said in real time, and what happened after that most people stopped paying attention to.
