Judge Juan Merchan set sentencing for mid-July and Trump remains free until that time without bail or restrictions on his movements.
Here’s what comes next in the historic case:
Sentencing
Trump is to be sentenced on July 11 at 10:00 am (1400 GMT), just days ahead of the Republican National Convention where he is expected to be named the party’s presidential nominee.
Merchan asked Trump’s defense attorneys to file any pre-sentencing motions by June 13 and for prosecutors to respond by June 27.
The judge also ordered a probation report to be submitted to him before sentencing. This may potentially involve Trump being interviewed by a New York probation officer.
Trump faces up to four years in prison on each of the 34 felony counts but as a first-time offender, he is unlikely to face jail time.
A fine, probation, home confinement, or community service are far more likely options, according to legal experts.
Merchan, who will decide Trump’s punishment, threatened during the trial to put him behind bars for breaching a gag order but opted to fine the former president instead.
Appeal
Donald Trump’s defense attorneys have 30 days to appeal the verdict once sentencing has taken place and they are expected to do so.
An appeal is unlikely to be heard, however, before the November presidential election, when Trump is expected to take on Democrat Joe Biden in a rematch of their 2020 contest.
Trump’s attorneys asked the judge at one point during the five-week trial to declare a mistrial, objecting to some of the graphic testimony by porn star Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had a sexual encounter with the married Trump in 2006.
Donald Trump was accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his then-lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment made to Daniels to silence her shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
Campaign
Despite the felony conviction, Trump can still run for the White House, be elected and once again take the oath of office.
He would not be able to pardon himself, however, given that the case was brought not by the federal government but by the state of New York, where only the governor could clear his name.
Trump also faces federal and state charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election won by Biden and for hoarding secret documents after leaving the White House.
Those cases are unlikely to come to trial before the November election.
Reacting after the jury convicted him, a defiant Trump called the process “rigged” and said, “The real verdict is going to be November 5, by the people.”
