Grover Cleveland was the first former president to win re-election four years after losing the White House. William Howard Taft was the first former president to serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. And now, Donald Trump adds to the list of firsts: first former president to be convicted of a crime.
On Thursday, Trump was found unanimously guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush-money case.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was alleged to have falsified business records over a $130,000 payment made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels which prosecutors argued was done to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
His sentencing is set for July 11, just a few days before the start of the Republican National Convention where he is widely expected to be receive the party’s presidential nomination.
Trump’s conviction on Thursday was historic as he officially became the first ex-president to be criminally convicted. This is hardly the only presidential first, however. How knowledgeable are you about presidential history? Take our quiz to find out.
