Donald Trump has begged the Supreme Court to intervene after he was convicted on 34 counts in his hush money trial.
Trump became the first former president in US history to be criminally convicted on Thursday after he was found guilty of falsifying business records in order to conceal hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, in exchange for her silence about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter, in the days leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
