Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money case – here’s what the entertainment world had to say about the historic verdict.
Yesterday (May 30), Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts lobbied against him for falsifying records in an attempt to cover up hush money payments to porn star Stormi Daniels in the lead up to the 2016 presidential elections, which he won. Daniels alleged that she had sexual relations with Trump in 2006, which he has continually denied.
Following the verdict, the entertainment world has taken to social media to share their thoughts on the historic ruling. Barbra Streisand wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury and New York for being found guilty on 34 counts. He will never accept accountability for his crimes. Americans must not allow this felon anywhere near the White House again.”
Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter wrote: “34 is now my favourite number”. Stephen King added: “The Republican candidate for President is a convicted felon.” Katy Perry shared a short but poignant “LFG”. (Let's Fucking Go)

It came after Donald Trump’s mugshot turned into a viral meme following his arrest that same month. On August 24, the former US president surrendered in Georgia on charges of plotting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. Trump had to pay a bail bond of $200,000 (£160,000) to be released from the Atlanta jail, and now awaits trial. He later described the case as “a travesty of justice”.
