ALBUQUERQUE—Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) released the following statement after a jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on 34 counts of fraud:

"Donald Trump is guilty. Today, he learned that no one is above the law.

"Never in American history has a U.S. president been convicted of a felony offense. Today, a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud.  

"Donald Trump is a con man, who has spent his life conning and defrauding those around him in business and in government. Today it is clear he is convicted of defrauding the American people.  

"He can no longer be allowed to con the American people into thinking he is worthy of leading. 

"He never was, and he never will be. 

"Today, the justice system did what it was supposed to do -- to hold the guilty accountable."
