The district attorney’s office declined to comment, and Blanche didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment late Tuesday.

Trump was convicted by a jury of 34 felonies stemming from a plot to illegally sway the 2016 presidential election in his favor by hiding hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. The verdict was returned after the jury had deliberated for roughly 12 hours.

Specifically, jurors found Trump guilty of violating a state law that forbids creating bogus business records with the intent to defraud as part of an effort to aid, commit or conceal another crime — in this case, an unlawful conspiracy to win the White House.
