politics nation. tonight s lead, guilty on all counts. it has been exactly 48 hours since donald trump became the first former president convicted of a felony in our nations history. the judgment rendered by a jury of his peers in the very same manhattan court complex where the exonerated convicted nearly 35 years ago as he called for the death penalty for them. trump is calling himself a political prisoner. even as he remains free to travel and campaign while he awaits sentencing in july. his republican allies are echoing his claim of a political witchhunt, attacking the judge and the jury and even as they posture as the party of law and order. meantime some chum supporters are taking things further. they place the participants in the preceding in very real danger. it was as a trial that pushed the limits of democracy. now the verdict has placed us even further into uncharted territory . joining me now is joe, a former attorney for donald trump. thanks for being with us toni
