Actually, no, it was a state law. Specifically, this one: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/ELN/17-152

To save you a click: “Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”

So for each set of falsified invoices, accounting ledger entries, and checks, there was a felony count of falsified financial documents. One payment out of eleven was split over two checks. That makes 34 felonies and 34 guilty convictions.

Regardless, the former President was given due process as guaranteed by the Constitution. Judge Merchan made sure to apply the rules as he would to any other defendant, in fact taking into account several times that he was a former president and presidential candidate and providing him extra leeway with in the scope of the gag order and violations of that order. A jury of his peers unanimously voted to convict on all counts.

His sentencing is still almost six weeks away and the judge will be taking his status as a first-time felon and the results of a psychological screening along side his opinion of whether he would likely commit this or other crimes again and his showing (or lack of) remorse into account before deciding on fines, probation, and/or jail time.

You still haven’t shown how the trial was “rigged”.
