Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on Thursday, May 30.

As a result, the following day, newspapers and magazines around the world showed off their front covers as it's the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

The ex-president, 77, seen here looking like he's asleep in court.

As OK! previously reported, he was accused of shutting his eyes throughout the trial.

"Sometimes he is sleeping. That is a 100 percent true. I’ve seen it. People around him have confirmed to me that he has been sleeping at times that we have said he is," New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said on the Wednesday, May 1, episode of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins.

"However, sometimes he is closing his eyes, and I’ve talked to people around him about this too, because that is how he tries to just basically stay calm and deal with it. And whether that then leads to sleep or whatever, who knows? But he is sitting there with his eyes closed for long periods of time. It’s not always sleeping," she continued. "I think it is a compartmentalization method. And he’s pretty good at compartmentalizing."

“We're going to be appealing this scam,” he said, adding that the witnesses were "literally crucified" in the case. “We're going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn't allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn't allow us to talk ... wouldn't allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant.”

"This is a scam. There's a rigged trial. It shouldn't have been in that venue. We shouldn't have had that judge. As far as the trial itself, it was very unfair. We weren't allowed to use our election expert under any circumstances," Trump said on May 31.
