Donald Trump has become the first former, or serving, US president to be convicted of a crime. 

He was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his criminal trial in New York. 

Our Deputy Political Editor, Jitendra Joshi, explains the significance of the conviction, and what we know about the potential sentences Trump is now facing. 

In part two, we’re joined by Dr Leslie Vinjamuri, Director of the US and Americas Programme at Chatham House. She discusses the US reaction and whether or not this will affect Trump’s bid to be re-elected to the White House.
